A new algorithm generates practical paper-folding patterns to produce any 3-D structure. In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then ...

Madonna Yoder ’17 studied rocks at MIT. But her passion is for paper—with no scissors. Today, she’s a tessellation expert who teaches, invents new designs, and writes papers on the underlying math.

Scientists are exploring a new class of origami structures that could help design and build different shapes for use in space. These structures are expected to be even more compact and reliable.

From plain bits of paper to incredible works of art - Polly Verity is an imaginative origami artist who's pioneered a process through which she can bring to life everyday objects. Meet the origami ...

A versatile origami fold could be the key to creating just about any structure, from the nanoscale to full-scale buildings, according to new engineering research out this week. A team at Harvard says ...
