The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper folding. The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: ...
A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...
Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...
BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...
A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.
