Origami's Space-Age Revolution: Bloom Patterns

Researchers have uncovered 'bloom patterns', a new class of origami with unique rotational symmetry.

These designs, expanding from a central point, fold flat for compact transport and unfold into large structures.

This property makes them highly suitable for space applications, such as deployable solar panels or antennas.

The discovery represents a significant leap in the creation of foldable structures for space exploration and engineering.
