Miles Wu, 14, won a $25,000 award for his research project combining origami and physics. He measured the weight that Miura-ori origami patterns can hold across various benchmarks. Wu said the pattern ...

While most 14-year-olds are folding paper airplanes, Miles Wu is folding origami patterns that he believes could one day improve disaster relief. The New York City teen just won $25,000 for a research ...

Engineers are using origami-inspired folding patterns to create deployable structures that shrink down flat and then expand into functional shapes in space, architecture and robotics. Trump’s shutdown ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Stretchable electronics are used in smartphones, smartwatches, curved displays, and wearable sensors. However, stretchable materials like elastomers have lower electrical performance than rigid ...

The universe often demands inventions that balance elegance with function. Engineers design spacecraft parts to be compact during launch yet expansive when deployed. Surprisingly, inspiration for this ...

BYU student discovers previously unknown "blooming flower" origami folding pattern. The new technique has an infinite number of variations that can expand into 3-D forms. The designs have potential ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...
