Madonna Yoder ’17 studied rocks at MIT. But her passion is for paper—with no scissors. Today, she’s a tessellation expert who teaches, invents new designs, and writes papers on the underlying math.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Discover the magic of paper engineering! In this easy modular origami tutorial, you’ll learn how to fold a stunning ringed cube using simple sheets of paper. No glue, no scissors — just beautiful ...

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.

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into intricate shapes: plants, animals, everyday objects, abstract art… the possibilities are virtually endless. The practice evolved over the centuries ...

Learn how to fold a stunning ringed cube using modular origami techniques in this beginner-friendly tutorial! With just a few sheets of paper and some simple folds, you'll create a 3D geometric ...

The sensor uses a DNA origami scaffold, which consists of two arms connected by a molecular “hinge.” Each arm is tagged with a fluorescent dye, and the distance between the tags is recorded by means ...

Origami was first known as ‘orikata’ or ‘folded shapes’. In 1880, the name changed to origami from Japanese words oru - to fold and kami- paper. It is widely known that origami is a Japanese art form ...

Unlike traditional building methodologies, modular design offers a degree of flexibility, efficiency, and scalability that is rarely paralleled. The true measure of a modular residence's worth lies in ...
