A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.

In typical rollable structures, the cross-section is flat in the storage phase so that it can wrap smoothly around a central hub, and transforms into a corrugated cross-section in the deployed phase ...

A Japanese folding has proven itself in space: an origami antenna, compact at launch, deployed to reach 25 times its original ...

Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, may soon provide a foundation for antennas that can reconfigure themselves to operate at different frequencies, microfluidic devices whose properties can ...

Over dinner with a potential business partner in 2019, Swedish designer Tue Beijer pulled out some sketches and a model of an electric scooter made out of folded paper. He explained that he wanted to ...
