Engineers have developed a class of origami structures that unfold in one smooth motion to create flower-like shapes, which ...

Origami—the Japanese art of folding paper—could be the next frontier in innovative materials. Practiced in Japan since the early 1600s, origami involves combining simple folding techniques to create ...

University of Washington (UW) scientists have introduced a remarkable advancement in micro-robotics, crafting battery-free, tiny robots inspired by the folding patterns of leaves. University of ...

Now an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Rice University, Novelino has built her research on a ...

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 ...

Robotics researchers often turn to the Japanese paper folding art of origami for inspiration, and with some very impressive results. Scientists working in the field at the University of Michigan have ...

In this video, I create a unique origami folding door inspired by Warwick Turvey. I explain how this seemingly impossible design works, detailing the materials used, including 1" square tubing, hinges ...

Engineers were able to develop materials with fine control over material properties like stiffness. For example, a prosthetic ...

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

Chemotherapy is the primary cancer treatment used today. It involves using cytotoxic agents which attack and kill cells that are rapidly dividing, like cancer cells. However, delivering these drugs ...

Researchers at Waseda University, in Japan, have developed a novel method that combines folding (origami) and cutting ...

These could be the stuff of nightmares — if they weren’t so damn cute. Scientists at the University of Washington have developed adorable little electronic “microfliers,” the size of a postage stamp, ...
