Origami, or the art of paper folding, finds its roots in Japanese tradition, where it is widely practiced even today. Drawing inspiration from this traditional art form, an emerging field of ...

Some pioneers in the field of computational origami believe they can apply the math behind paper folding to help decode the "bad" protein folds thought to cause diseases from Alzheimer's to mad cow.

All you need to practice origami (which means “to fold paper” in Japanese) is a sheet of paper and a little focus, but certain tools can make the process easier. Here are some recommendations ...

With this burgeoning field of origami-inspired-design, the question is: can the mathematics of origami be boiled down to one elegant algorithm—a fail-proof guidebook to make any object out of a ...

“The origami-inspired ideas really help us to see how to make things smaller and smaller and to make them simpler and simpler.” One such instrument is a robotically-controlled forceps so small it can ...

This smart algorithm not only manages to fold any 3D shape out of a piece of paper -- but does so with the minimal amount of seams.
