Most people wouldn't think that it would take rigorous mathematical proof to show how many folds it takes to make a donut ...

Mathematician Richard Evan Schwartz discovered how to make an origami torus with the least folding possible. The tent-shaped ...

Miles Wu folded a variant of the Miura-ori pattern that can hold 10,000 times its own weight Ramsha Waseem | Innovation Correspondent Wu’s innovation won the top prize of $25,000 at the 2025 Thermo ...

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, ...

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...

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.

Robbie has been an avid gamer for well over 20 years. During that time, he's watched countless franchises rise and fall. He's a big RPG fan but dabbles in a little bit of everything. Writing about ...
