Engineers at RMIT University have developed new structural tubes that can be flat-packed for easy transport and transformed into strong building materials. This breakthrough is made possible by a self-locking system inspired by curved-crease origami — a technique that uses curved-crease lines in paper folding. Lead researchers Dr Jeff (Ting-Uei) Lee and distinguished professor Mike …
