Robert Lang combines mathematics, science and origami to create art and solve complex engineering problems.

Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended the centuries-old practice to ...

For the past few decades, scientists have been inspired by the blueprint of life, DNA, as the shape of things to come for nanotechnology. This burgeoning field is called DNA origami. Scientist ...

A new technique for producing self-folding three-dimensional origami structures from photo-curable liquid polymer materials created these tiny samples, held in a hand for size comparison. Rob Felt, ...

Precision is key, whether folding a humble crane or an interlocking modular structure. So is enthusiasm. Written by Kathleen Massara Photographs by Ryan Jenq Paper cranes folded by New Yorkers and ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This artist creates intricate origami designs that change shapes. Jasen Zhang uses modular-origami techniques to make ...

If you are an experimental foodie, this might be just the thing you’re looking for. Researchers with the MIT Tangible Media Group have announced the successful creation of edible, shape-shifting ...
