Hirogami is a 3D action platformer inspired by the ancient Japanese art of origami (paper folding). Everything you encounter has been crafted to convey the physical, often fragile, natural world of ...

日本伝統の遊びとして世界的に知られている「折り紙」は平面を立体に変換するというコンセプトが数学や物理学でも注目を集め、ロケットやエアバッグに応用されるといったことも。そんな折り紙をPCのウェブブラウザでシミュレートできて、構造や折り ...

3D micro-/nanofabrication holds the key to build a large variety of micro-/nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems with unique properties that do not manifest in their 2D planar ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

Origami has inspired the design of structures with unique properties, finding a huge range of potential uses, including soft robots and stretchable electronics. Now researchers from Georgia Institute ...

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...

Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

The ancient art of paper folding has come a long way from planes and cranes. "Surface to Structure," an exhibit at New York's Cooper Union running June 19 to July 3, showcases the complexity of modern ...

James Vincent is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. To call someone “spineless” is an insult on land, but in the ocean, it’s simply a sensible ...
