As well as providing a better understanding of origami, the team hopes that the work will lead to practical 3D materials that are both strong and flexible. Santangelo and colleagues focused on a ring ...

This breakthrough is made possible by a self-locking system inspired by curved-crease origami -- a technique that uses curved crease lines in paper folding. Lead researchers, Dr Jeff (Ting-Uei ...

The key to the system lies in curved-crease origami. Unlike traditional paper folding, which uses straight crease lines, this technique uses curved lines to create strength and stability.
