University of Washington scientists have built a battery-free flying robot that stabilizes its descent by changing shape in mid-air—a design that was inspired by origami, according to a recent ...

The intricate folds of origami are infinitely useful across science, from designing safer airbags to building more resilient architecture.Here, though, the same principles are being applied to a ...

“Rigid origami” needs new maths; it also offers new abilities. As a result the mathematics of origami has moved beyond early efforts to show how much higher maths could be recapitulated in ...

Inspired by a particular folding technique called rigid origami, researchers have demonstrated foldable silicon solar cells. The fabrication process utilizes mainstream high-temperature processes to ...

The ancient art of origami has inspired all kinds of modern technological endeavors, from drones to bridges to batteries and low-cost emergency housing. The latest project to join the fold comes ...

Nov. 23, 2021 — Researchers categorize origami- and kirigami-based mechanical metamaterials, artificially engineered materials with unusual mechanical properties, and subdivided them into rigid ...

Video: Self-folding robot walks on its own It's a real Transformer. A flat chunk of butterfly-shaped plastic magically folds itself into the shape of a four-legged robot – and then ...

Artificial Origami Skeletons. Humans have soft muscles and rigid skeletons, and when exerted in optimal sync they have the potential to lift a fairly impressive amount of weight.

Researchers categorize origami- and kirigami-based mechanical metamaterials, artificially engineered materials with unusual mechanical properties, and subdivided them into rigid or deformable ...

Researchers at Arizona State University have fused the mystical art of origami with modern materials science to create a high-performance, flexible lithium-ion battery. These batteries can be ...

The humble brown paper bag, which you might use to carry lunch or lug groceries, is a remarkable contrivance. It can stand upright by itself. You don’t need an extra hand to hold it open while ...

The "Origami Yacht" was designed by Millennium Yacht Design Award winner Fabio Federici; Federici was inspired by the rigid shapes of stealth aircrafts and the Japanese art of paper folding ...
