Curved-Crease Origami Sculptures

Curved-Crease Sculpture When folded along curved creases, paper shapes itself into a natural equilibrium form. These equilibria are poorly understood, especially for curved creases.

I Tried the Future of Smart Glasses at WWDC. They Weren't Made by Apple

On a bright sunny day in Cupertino, California, I crammed into my seat, unlocked my laptop, connected to Wi-Fi and checked in on Slack. Apple's WWDC keynote was about to begin.

Astronomers Suggest That Entire Stars Are Being Obscured by Giant "Lampshades" of Dark Matter

Still, we can see its handiwork everywhere, with its gravitational pull determining the formation of everything from whole galaxies to individual stars. Now a team of astronomers is proposing a new technique for searching for dark matter — and it runs counter to its reputation as a completely invisible, light-i
