An origami-inspired ‘metamaterial’ has been engineered to have properties not found in natural materials — enabling it to undergo large, reversible deformations. Read the paper: Modular chiral origami ...

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 ...

Schematic illustration of a dynamic multifunctional metasurface based on Miura-ori. The reconfigurable origami metasurface enables the display or concealment of image information for dynamic display ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For centuries, origami, the ancient art of paper folding, was used to create decorative figures for crafts and artwork. In recent decades however, origami principles have inspired ...
