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 ...

Researchers have developed a technique to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures directly on a chip—a process they call photonic origami. The method could enable tiny, yet complex ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new soft and stretchable origami-inspired brain implant. Designed to ...

Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those of ...

This novel fabrication process makes lightweight, expandable, 3D structures. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D printing to ...

Accessing Origami Simulator looks like this. The origami 3D model is displayed in the center. In Origami Simulator, instead of sequentially displaying origami folding methods, it shows what happens ...
