But one of the key hurdles when bringing origami or kirigami to engineering is that these techniques often make things rather ...

Scientists have unveiled an ultrathin quantum dot LED that can be folded as freely as paper. The new device can be folded into complex 3D structures such as butterflies, airplanes, and pyramids.

UCLA student Sohum Bhargava folds origami into kidney health advocacy. His intricate paper art sparks awareness about organ ...

A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.

In typical rollable structures, the cross-section is flat in the storage phase so that it can wrap smoothly around a central hub, and transforms into a corrugated cross-section in the deployed phase ...

Scientists have now replicated that technique to produce self-folding paper structures. Like plants, paper is made up mostly of cellulose fibers. In both cases, when those fibers absorb water, they ...

Hacking is about pushing the envelope to discover new and clever ways to use things in ways their original designers never envisioned. [Charlyn Gonda]’s Hackaday Remoticon workshop “Making Glowly ...

Honor has filed and published a new foldable patent that goes beyond today’s book-style devices and even the new wave of ...
