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.

A mold-free additive process prints rigid and flexible materials onto fabric, cutting time and cost for lightweight, ...

Kiri-origami structures combine the benefits of both origami and kirigami, incorporating their advantages while canceling their disadvantages, enabling the development of high-performance, stretchable ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

Researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory are exploring origami concepts in relation to science, physics, mathematics and engineering to create new solutions for the Air Force. This image shows ...

Most people are familiar with the DNA double-helix. Its twisted ladder shape forms because the long pieces of DNA that make up our genome are exactly complementary—every adenine paired to a thymine, ...

The rapid advancements in satellite technology have been inextricably bound up with the support provided by sophisticated space folding mechanisms. In addition, with the rapid progression of space ...
