There’s an urban legend that a piece of paper can’t be folded in half more than eight times, as one fold makes it double in thickness, a process called exponential growth, according to IFLScience. By ...

Artist Sipho Mabona has taken origami to the next level by creating a life-sized paper elephant! The oversized animal was folded from one single, albeit giant, piece of paper. Mabona raised the ...

Plastic with a thousand faces: A single piece of Nafion foil makes it possible to produce a broad palette of complex 3-D structures. Researchers now describe how they use simple chemical 'programming' ...

Inspired by origami, North Carolina State University researchers have found a way to remotely control the order in which a two-dimensional (2-D) sheet folds itself into a three-dimensional (3-D) ...

Could the solution to the impending battery crunch be... origami? Scientists at Arizona State University have created a lithium-ion battery out of carbon nanotube-coated paper -- and then, by folding ...
