The big thinkers at Aperture explore origami and the mathematical art of paper folding. 2025 lookback: Trump yanks federal funding from NPR in move conservative advocates said was long overdue World's ...

Just as a misshapen key can't open a lock, the proteins in our cells need to have the correct 3D shape to function properly. And defects in a protein's structure can cause diseases. Proteins are ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b), to achieve helical bending (c), and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a chip-based method to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures – a process called photonic origami. The technique could produce ...

The art of origami goes back centuries — enough time to explore every possible crease that can be made in a sheet of paper, one might think. And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami ...

Last month, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was released and immediately became the de facto king of the foldable phone hill. But now a new challenger has arrived: The Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The full details ...

These structures could help improve how scientists design and deploy antennas, optical devices for satellites. (Representational image)Victor /Royal Society Scientists are exploring a new class of ...

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 ...
