Soh Kam Yung<p>"In 1980, Japanese astrophysicist Kōryō Miura worked out a pattern of parallelograms that permit a map to be folded much more compactly than conventional right-angle creases. So efficient is the pattern that a map can be opened or refolded with a single motion by pulling on opposite ends, rather like an accordion."</p><p><a href="https://www.futilitycloset.com/2025/06/30/the-miura-fold/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">futilitycloset.com/2025/06/30/</span><span class="invisible">the-miura-fold/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Geometry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Geometry</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Folding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Folding</span></a></p>
