A new algorithm generates practical paper-folding patterns to produce any 3-D structure. In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then ...
Scientists are exploring a new class of origami structures that could help design and build different shapes for use in space. These structures are expected to be even more compact and reliable.
From studies of “geometric frustration,” scientists learn how paper folds under pressure. By Siobhan Roberts A piece of crumpled paper, in all of its creased fragmentations, suffers from “geometric ...
