How can a single origami crease pattern be folded into two precisely defined target shapes? Researchers at AMOLF and Leiden University have created an "alphabet" of 140 origami "puzzle pieces" that ...

A new type of origami can morph from one pattern to another—or even a hybrid of two patterns—instantly altering many of its structural characteristics. The research could unlock new types of ...

Robert Lang, a physicist who became a leading figure in the world of origami, lost a lifetime's work of folded paper art to the 2025 wildfires in Altadena, Calif. He then set out to recreate his ...

An origami paper-folding pattern called the square twist is the basis of a microscopic switch that Cornell physicists say could lead to origami-inspired materials and machines. Their demonstration of ...

The art of origami goes back centuries — enough time to explore every possible crease that can be made in a sheet of paper, one might think. And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami ...

Researchers have created a new type of origami that can morph from one pattern into a different one, or even a hybrid of two patterns, instantly altering many of its structural characteristics.

Bloom-patterned origami created by Brigham Young University student Kelvin Wang are pictured. One could ascertain that most origami patterns have been discovered because it has been an art form for ...

Smooth operator: Morph can shift between eggbox and Miura-ori origami patterns. (Courtesy: Allison Carter) An origami folding pattern that produces a highly-tuneable metamaterial has been discovered ...
