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 ...
BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...
Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...
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 ...
Miles Wu, 14, won a $25,000 award for his research project combining origami and physics. He measured the weight that Miura-ori origami patterns can hold across various benchmarks. Wu said the pattern ...
Something like a small paper container ... ... It opens in a flash. A foldable structure like an accordion Various patterns are born from one sheet of paper, such as ...
The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper folding. The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: ...
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 ...
