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, ...

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.

There’s no denying its elegant beauty, but the importance of a designer’s dress pattern seems inconsequential among the examples of how the art of origami has played a role in engineering, ...

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 folding of origami structures involves bending deformations that are not explicit in the crease pattern. Silverberg and co-authors found that to properly model the folding of the square-twist ...
