Origami has plenty to offer the world of robotics, inspiring clever folding machines that could find their way into our stomaches and out to Mars. Scientists have again borrowed from this ancient ...

Researchers have reshaped the landscape of programmable matter by devising self-folding sheets that rely on the ancient art of origami. Called programmable matter by folding, the team demonstrated how ...

As a lousy folder myself, I’ve always been in awe of origami, the ancient, fiendishly complex, Japanese art form that can make a paper crane to remember, and that also, in the right hands, can be used ...

Use the ancient art of origami to create cleverly folded creatures to use as Halloween decorations. Instructions: Begin by folding an 8-by-8-inch piece of black paper into a triangle. Next, fold down ...

In the realm of microrobotics, small and malleable machines are, in the meme-y words of Mugatu, so hot right now. Scientists appear to be doing everything they can to crack the code behind what it ...

Watch your backs, professional origamists: researchers are working on a sheet of material that can fold itself. The sheets of material, called “programmable matter” by their inventors, use electric ...

A University of Tartu student has come up with a new proof of the Pythagorean theorem using origami. While folding paper is already used — even in basic school — to demonstrate the well-known ...

Researchers at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) have developed self-folding smart sheets of fiberglass inspired by the ancient art of origami. The team ...
