When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another planet – they generally have the highest number of needs and the lowest ...

ORIGAMI-style space homes that spring off the ground on Mars could house future visitors to the red planet. These hi-tech ...

Researchers at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University, have applied the principle of interlacing to an origami-inspired structure and developed a "Foldable-and-Rollable ...

The emerging field of origami-inspired mechanical metamaterials and structures harnesses the age-old art of paper folding to achieve sophisticated, reconfigurable designs with applications ranging ...

The tiny robots start out flat, thin wafers of layered silicon, gold and plastic. It’s the heat created by an electric current that makes them fold along etched grooves, bending themselves into ...

Fourteen-year-old Miles Wu of New York City won the $25,000 top prize at the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for his origami-based engineering project. Competing in Washington, ...
