Five self-published origami textbooks by Shuzo Fujimoto, who invented many origami with geometric patterns and is world-famous among origami enthusiasts, have been released in the public domain with ...

Jackson isn't a scientist, but he is aware of the many places that folds appear in nature, from DNA and vital proteins, to geometric folding that changes the space we live in. Jackson is one of a ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

While perhaps not as iconic as the paper crane, the hypar origami with its sweeping opposing arcs and saddle shape has long been popular for artists working in the paper folding tradition. Now ...

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, ...

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...

Researchers are looking the 'hypar' origami for ways to leverage its structural properties. While perhaps not as iconic as the paper crane, the hypar origami with its sweeping opposing arcs and saddle ...
