Researchers in Simon Fraser University’s Additive Manufacturing Lab are replicating a distinctive artform—the subtle folding of origami—to create 3D printable technologies to aid in the fight against ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them ...

This novel fabrication process makes lightweight, expandable, 3D structures. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D printing to ...

Researchers have developed a technique to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures directly on a chip—a process they call photonic origami. The method could enable tiny, yet complex ...

Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady ...

A team of Korean researchers have created a display that can be folded like origami. The so-called 3D foldable display can be folded into airplanes, pyramids, and more. It has a number of downsides at ...

The simplicity and elegance of origami, an ancient Japanese art form, has motivated researchers to explore its application in the world of materials. New research from an interdisciplinary team, ...

James Vincent is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. To call someone “spineless” is an insult on land, but in the ocean, it’s simply a sensible ...

3D micro-/nanofabrication holds the key to build a large variety of micro-/nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems with unique properties that do not manifest in their 2D planar ...
