Based on the work of a student at Brigham Young University, origami theorists have unlocked a new set of patterns that could ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty.

One could ascertain that most origami patterns have been discovered because it has been an art form for many hundreds of ...

Kelvin Wang created this new origami style as part of his work in the engineering department at BYU, where they’re studying ...

Researchers also constructed bloom patterns out of other materials, such as 3D printed plastics. Scientists are exploring a ...

Wang is the lead author of the discovery, which was recently published in Proceedings of the Royal Society. Co-authors include BYU professor Larry Howell, a global expert on compliant mechanisms ...
