Description
Space probes, self-assembling robots, crash-absorbing cars, and designer proteins all have one thing in common: their use of folding technologies. To develop these technologies, engineers are taking inspiration from an unusual source—origami, the ancient art of paper folding. Examine origami's origins, how it intersects with mathematics, and how it became a tool to solve some of the most complicated challenges in engineering, architecture, technology, and medicine today. Plus, get a close-up look at these technologies with two augmented reality images included in the book!

This nonfiction title looks at how origami's folding technology is used for amazing things - like creating heart stents, solar panels, or even tiny robots that can unfold. A great reference book for middle schoolers, teenagers, or adults who are just trying to learn about this!
