BYU's origami-inspired antenna self-deploys for space applications. Produced by BYU Video. It's hard to imagine modern life without cell phones, GPS navigation, wide-spread internet, weather ...

A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.

BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

BYU student Kelvin (Zhongyuan) Wang was the lead author of an article detailing a discovery of a new family of origami patterns which have promising applications for a wide range of fields. BYU ...

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, ...
