Researchers have created a new type of origami that can morph from one pattern into a different one, or even a hybrid of two patterns, instantly altering many of its structural characteristics.

Researchers developed a rotational 3D printing method that builds lattices with programmable shape morphing, an advance that could quickly advance 4D printing.

Origami-based structures have been used to create deployable solar arrays for space, adaptable acoustic systems for symphony halls and even crash protection systems for flying drones. Now researchers ...
