fold an airbag into a dashboard. He is currently working on a space telescope lens that, if all goes

D. At the other end of the scale, researchers are also working on tiny folding devices that could lead to breakthrough in medicine and computing. These include origami stents that are inserted into arteries and open up to keep the blood flowing. Computers of the future are likely to contain biny,folded motors or capacitore, which will mean faster procesaing and better memory storage
E There's no doubt that saving space has become important in our world, as the search for ever smaller electronic.components shows. But origami also meets the demand for things which need to be when transported and large when they amive, like the everyday umbrella.
F Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine. Some day, says
