Many of us could happily fold a paper crane, yet few feel confident solving an equation like x³ – 3 x² – x + 3 = 0, to find a value for x. Both activities, however, share similar skills: precision, ...

Most materials—from rubber bands to steel beams—thin out as they are stretched, but engineers can use origami's interlocking ridges and precise folds to reverse this tendency and build devices that ...

Engineers use techniques from Origami to design spacecraft components, medical robots and antenna arrays. Researchers have developed a system to explain the rules that govern some of these key ...
