We listen back to a conversation with Robert J. Lang, a leading origami artist and former physicist for NASA. He came to town in the fall of 2019 for the Pacific Coast OrigamiUSA Convention. We talked with Lang about how the mathematics and beauty behind origami can be used to solve real-world problems.
