Designers across disciplines are increasingly drawing on origami’s principles to transform flat concepts into immersive, functional 3D experiences. From interior spaces shaped by graphic design’s ...

Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those of ...

Die jahrhundertealte japanische Kunst des Papierfaltens, Origami, findet Anwendung bei der Konzeption zukünftiger Raumfahrttechnologien. Forscher der Brigham Young University unter der Leitung von ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

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).

Forscher haben eine neue Klasse von Origami entdeckt, die sie "Bloom Patterns" nennen - radial erweiterbare Muster mit rotationaler Symmetrie um das Zentrum. Die Entdeckung stammt von Kelvin ...

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, ...

Blumen sagen manchmal mehr als tausend Worte. Schon seit Jahrhunderten nutzen Menschen sie, um Gefühle und Botschaften – ganz ohne Worte – auszudrücken. Im 18. Jahrhundert wurden ihnen sogar ...

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.
