There’s no denying its elegant beauty, but the importance of a designer’s dress pattern seems inconsequential among the examples of how the art of origami has played a role in engineering, ...

Origami and kirigami have inspired a multidisciplinary team of engineers and architects to apply these ancient paper-folding art techniques to geometric principles and thereby create living buildings ...

Kazuya Katagiri’s award-winning Shi-An is a movable mini tea house constructed entirely out of paper using ancient Origami processes. The igloo-like structure is just one of Katagiri’s fascinating ...

Princeton engineers are twisting, stretching and creasing structures to create a new type of origami, one that changes its ...

Concrete's strength and structural integrity come not only in its material properties, but also from how it's molded during construction. An architecture student has devised a clever way to build ...

Wang is the lead author of the discovery, which was recently published in Proceedings of the Royal Society. Co-authors include BYU professor Larry Howell, a global expert on compliant mechanisms ...

Origami — the art of making various shapes from a single piece of paper — has been realized at the nanoscale using DNA. Sheets of ‘DNA wireframe paper’ have been developed that, through folding along ...
