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 ...

Origami, or the art of paper folding, finds its roots in Japanese tradition, where it is widely practiced even today. Drawing ...

Demaine and Tachi are also working to implement the algorithm in a new version of Origamizer, the free software for generating origami crease patterns whose first version Tachi released in 2008.

“ORNL is leading the AI frontier in science,” Potok concluded. “We are using AI to simulate, predict and accelerate ...
