Researchers have used the ancient Japanese art of paper folding to possibly solve a key challenge for outer space travel: how to store and move fuel to rocket engines. They developed an origami-inspired, folded plastic fuel bladder that doesn’t crack at super-cold temperatures and could someday be used to store and pump fuel.
