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

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 ...

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 ...

The ancient Japanese art of paper-folding, or origami, is already inspiring the design of the next generation of space vehicles, but now there's a new family of origami shapes that could make them ...

Bloom-patterned origami created by Brigham Young University student Kelvin Wang are pictured. One could ascertain that most origami patterns have been discovered because it has been an art form for ...

Based on the work of a student at Brigham Young University, origami theorists have unlocked a new set of patterns that could change space exploration ...

In the acclaimed TV series, Sherlock, detective Sherlock Holmes helps lock up a Chinese smuggling racket by discovering a common thread between all the dead victims: a black Origami lotus at every ...

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 ...

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 ...
