Origami in Space Science: Due to its ability to aid with the challenge of fitting massive constructions into constrained spaces, origami has proven to be a useful tool in space exploration. Currently, it is expensive to launch a satellite or other spacecraft into space, and the bigger the structure, the more expensive it is. This issue is resolved by origami, which enables massive constructions to be folded and condensed for easier and more affordable transportation NASA’s solar sail, a remarkably small, light, and reflecting sheet that uses solar radiation to drive spacecraft across space, is one illustration of the usage of origami in space science. The sail must be packed tightly and compactly for flight, and it must later be spread in space. Here's where origami comes in since it offers a technique to compactly pack the solar sail and then release it in a controlled fashion. The usage of this technology for next space missions is being explored by NASA after successful testing in space. The creation of foldable space habitats is another example of origami being used in space science. These habitats may be transported in a compact shape, enlarged, and put together in space to give astronauts a place to live and work. These constructions may be folded and packed compactly, which makes transportation simpler and more affordable. Origami in Medical Science: Also, there are uses for origami in the field of medicine. Medical device design is one area where origami is being used. An origami-inspired stent, for instance, has been created by a research team at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. It can be folded and then expanded to fit inside blood channels. This technology offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, which has the potential to transform the way cardiovascular disease is treated. Drug delivery devices are also designed using origami. An origami-inspired medication delivery device has been created by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It can be folded up small for transportation and then extended inside the body to release pharmaceuticals at a specified place. This technology has the potential to lessen side effects and increase drug delivery effectiveness. Origami in Engineering: Engineering has also benefited from the use of origami. Buildings, bridges, and other structures may be designed in a completely new way thanks to the work of engineers who are using the controlled folding and unfolding of origami to create their designs. For instance, an engineering team at Harvard University created a robotic arm that can be folded and unfurled like an accordion. This innovation may improve the range of motion and flexibility of robotic arms. The design of airbags is another area of engineering where origami is used. By folding them securely and compactly, airbags can be made smaller and lighter while still providing the necessary protection. In the end Origami is a useful and flexible craft that has applications in many scientific disciplines, including engineering, medicine, and space research. It has become a popular choice for creating structures that can be compacted and then deployed in a controlled way because of its ability to turn this double sheet into complex three-dimensional structures. Technologies influenced by origami have the ability to completely change how we design and construct. This article's goal is to show the many and creative ways that origami has been used in science, as well as how it has the possibility of completely change the way that we create structures, tools, and systems.

In season 1 episode 2 of the Netflix show Black Mirror, "Bing goes with Abi to the audition and she gives him an origami penguin." This simple gift is a powerful symbol - of creating something valuable and special to the character out of a piece of trash - in the story and I feel like this should be in the "in pop culture" section.

I would like to suggest adding to the Gallery section of the page photos of origami that is made from materials other than processed paper (as it currently the case). The British Origami Society has pointed out a large range of materials that can be folded (https://www.britishorigami.org/cp-lister-list/materials-for-folding/), and the esteemed origamist and physicist Robert Lang has also pointed this out in his writings (https://langorigami.com/article/paper/). I have exchanged emails with BOS and Robert Lang, and they are both not aware of the use of flower petals in origami, which I have pioneered and have provided free access to images for this at Unsplash (https://unsplash.com/@plushzilla). I have also written extensively about the use of flower petals as 'paper' for origami in my personal website (https://hanakami.art). S4074433 (talk) 03:23, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

{{nd}} - to educate readers, it would be better to add a descriptive section under Types using WP:RS references. Adding images to a gallery with only a caption and without discussion of the technique falls under WP:NOTGALLERY. Further, any image added to a Wikipedia article must first be cleared for copyright and publicly available at Wikimedia Commons where there are [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=origami&title=Special:MediaSearch&go=Go&type=image dozens of origami images.] Zefr (talk) 03:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
