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 ...

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 to guide ...

When we say that Erik Demaine has spent the best part of the past two decades folding paper into funny shapes, it’s a bit more impressive than it sounds. In fact, as an 18-year-old Ph.D. student (yes, ...

“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 ...
