Some 20 years or so, various individuals recognised that the problem of folding a square sheet of paper into an arbitrary 3D shape had many similarities to problems in computational geometry. These ...

Robert Lang had a good career as a laser physicist. He worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, researching semiconductor lasers used in fiber-optic communications, before switching to a private ...

I had the opportunity, to interview Robert J Lang, the origami artist who, along with several others, has filed a lawsuit against painter Sarah Morris who, they say, infringed on their copyrights when ...

In 1970, an astrophysicist named Koryo Miura conceived what would become one of the most well-known and well-studied folds in origami: the Miura-ori. The pattern of creases forms a tessellation of ...

Origami paperwork creates delicate sculptures through intricate folds. Each crease has to add to the work while preserving the structural and artistic contributions of each prior movement. The actions ...

Novel insight into the “Sareh twist” suggests that this mechanism underlying origami tessellations could become a key element in the design of origami-inspired structures for science and engineering ...

A new algorithm generates practical paper-folding patterns to produce any 3-D structure. In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then ...

Origami has always been an artform that’s fun to watch. But now one Swiss artist is attempting to elevate the concept of origami as performance art with an Indiegogo campaign to help him realize his ...
