Madonna Yoder ’17 studied rocks at MIT. But her passion is for paper—with no scissors. Today, she’s a tessellation expert who ...

Origami: It’s not just art anymore. Engineers are harnessing the Japanese art of paper-folding to build in smarter, more efficient ways. A team of researchers designed a self-folding robot that can ...

Some 20 years or so, various individuals recognised that the problem of folding a square sheet of paper into an arbitrary 3D shape had many similarities to problems in computational geometry. These ...

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 ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Smooth operator: Morph can shift between eggbox and Miura-ori origami patterns. (Courtesy: Allison Carter) An origami folding pattern that produces a highly-tuneable metamaterial has been discovered ...

PROVO — Brigham Young University student Kelvin (Zhongyuan) Wang's love of paper folding just led to a discovery that added a new chapter to an art form that can trace its roots back hundreds of years ...

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...
