This is a really cool example of transferring domain knowledge from one field to another. It is impressive that the same math for lasers can help you fold a beetle from one sheet of paper. I need to find a way to pivot my own side projects like that.

Great article, thanks for sharing! Lang is a gem, and definitely my fave celebrity Origami artist (what a world). He has a website with both his art and scientific work, for anyone who's curious for more: <a href="https://langorigami.com/math-science-posts/" rel="nofollow">https://langorigami.com/math-science-posts/</a>
