This experiment shows how to fold a square piece of paper into a water bomb (also known as an origami balloon). By carefully folding corners, tucking in flaps, and blowing air into the final pocket, ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, North Carolina State University engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations ...

Researchers have developed a way to assemble and pre-program tiny structures made from microscopic cubes -- 'microbot origami' -- to change their shape when actuated by a magnetic field and then, ...

The following is a transcript for the video: Narrator: These cubes? They're no ordinary building blocks. They're built to collapse, expand, and change shapes infinitely. And they're called Ghostkubes.

The art of folding paper is usually a solitary, meditative endeavor. But when your origami project involves 49,000 business cards and a healthy dose of non-Euclidean geometry, you probably want to ...

Science and art come together in compelling ways for Jeannine Mosely. A software engineer at Akamai Technologies in Cambridge, she contributed to the development of cell-phone technology as a graduate ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations using only three active motors.

(Nanowerk News) Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, North Carolina State University engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 ...
