Origami-Inspired Patterns for Space Folding Structures

Originally Published 4 months ago — by The New York Times

Researchers have discovered a new class of origami called bloom patterns, which are rotationally symmetric and resemble flowers. These patterns are promising for building foldable structures for space exploration due to their compactness, ability to be made from a single sheet, and scalability.
