Novel insight into the “Sareh twist” suggests that this mechanism underlying origami tessellations could become a key element in the design of origami-inspired structures for science and engineering ...

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, ...

Figure 1: Schematics and photographs introducing the square twist’s essential geometric properties and mechanical characteristics. Figure 2: Experimental strain-controlled mechanical data studying the ...

With a few folds, brightly-colored squares of paper transform into animals, birds, flowers, and trees. More talented origami enthusiasts also use their skills to create original works based on popular ...

The folding of origami structures involves bending deformations that are not explicit in the crease pattern. Silverberg and co-authors found that to properly model the folding of the square-twist ...
