When Kerry Remp realized he could build things with his origami creations, his hobby began to seriously bloom. “I’m an engineer, so building things is central to how I think,” he said. “I began with ...

A new algorithm generates practical paper-folding patterns to produce any 3-D structure. In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then ...

The art of origami usually requires dextrous fingers to turn a flat sheet into an intricate 3D shape. Now it’s got considerably easier, thanks to a material that can fold up on its own. Each foil was ...

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 ...
