"We were both excited – we screamed." Zaman was inspired by the Japanese art form kirigami, like origami but instead of ...

Inspired by the paper folding art of origami, a University of Washington team — including Jinkyu Yang, an associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics — created a paper model of a metamaterial ...

The tiny robots start out flat, thin wafers of layered silicon, gold and plastic. It’s the heat created by an electric current that makes them fold along etched grooves, bending themselves into ...

The sign on the wall behind Suyi Li's desk at Clemson University has a picture of a paper swan and a quick dash of motivation, "Keep calm and origami on." The ancient art of paper folding is showing ...

Origami isn’t just an art form—it’s becoming a powerful tool in modern engineering. By folding materials instead of cutting ...

Assistant Professor of Engineering Kristen Dorsey has loved origami since she was a child. “My parents were very tolerant of me trying to fold 1,000 paper cranes,” says the Chicago native, with a ...

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 ...

The simplicity and elegance of origami, an ancient Japanese art form, has motivated researchers to explore its application in the world of materials. New research from an interdisciplinary team, ...
