The project is free, available online, and it’s open-source, so anyone can use or modify it.

Start your origami journey with simple designs like cranes or boats. These basic models require fewer steps, making it easier for beginners to focus on each fold. By mastering simple shapes first, ...

In our “Window to the Weekend” sponsored by Renewal by Andersen of Tampa, Host of Bloom, Gayle Guyardo, sat down chatted with ...

Plasmonic sensors are extremely promising candidates for label-free single-molecule analysis but require exquisite control over the physical arrangement of metallic nanostructures. Here we employ self ...

Origami might seem like an unlikely source of inspiration for scientists and engineers, yet the centuries-old Japanese art of paper folding is behind all sorts of new innovations. That’s because ...

For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a surprising answer. Their work shows that tissues can fold themselves ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

In 1936, the British mathematician Alan Turing came up with an idea for a universal computer. It was a simple device: an infinite strip of tape covered in zeros and ones, together with a machine that ...
