You may be familiar with origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, but chances are you haven’t come across smocking. This technique refers to the way fabric can be bunched by stitches, often made in ...

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 ...

In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then an 18-year-old PhD student at the University of Waterloo, in Canada -- described an ...

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 ...

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 ...

For Richard Gordon, origami is like a piece of music. While an individual fold may not be particularly impressive, many together can make the paper sing. A floppy sheet can transform into a flapping ...

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 ...
