Researchers develop hybrid kiri-origami structures that enable the fabrication of high-performance stretchable electronics using non-stretchable materials. (Nanowerk News) Stretchable electronics are ...

A 4D-printed structure pairs origami panels with a lattice core to fold flat for storage and bear heavy loads once deployed.

In 1970, an astrophysicist named Koryo Miura conceived what would become one of the most well-known and well-studied folds in origami: the Miura-ori. The pattern of creases forms a tessellation of ...

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 paper ...

Chemists present two studies that open up new possibilities for biotechnological applications. LMU chemists present two studies that open up new possibilities for biotechnological applications. In the ...

Kiri-origami structures combine the benefits of both origami and kirigami, incorporating their advantages while canceling their disadvantages, enabling the development of high-performance, stretchable ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, North Carolina State University engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations ...

A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. By infusing rubber-like elastomers with materials called ...

A Japanese folding has proven itself in space: an origami antenna, compact at launch, deployed to reach 25 times its original ...
