Stretchable electronics are used in smartphones, smartwatches, curved displays, and wearable sensors. However, stretchable materials like elastomers have lower electrical performance than rigid ...

Abstract: In this letter, a novel soft origami module is proposed to detect multi-directional bending. The module is inspired by the deformability and adaptability of the piezoelectric sensor and ...

BYU student discovers previously unknown "blooming flower" origami folding pattern. The new technique has an infinite number of variations that can expand into 3-D forms. The designs have potential ...

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 ...

These structures could help improve how scientists design and deploy antennas, optical devices for satellites. (Representational image)Victor /Royal Society Scientists are exploring a new class of ...

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

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, ...
