A Fold Apart: Origamist Robert Lang's Incredible Creations

YouTube description:

Twenty five years ago, physicist Robert Lang worked at NASA, where he researched lasers. He has also garnered 46 patents on optoelectronics and even wrote a Ph.D. thesis called "Semiconductor Lasers: New Geometries and Spectral Properties." But in 2001, Lang left his job in order to pursue a passion he's had since childhood: origami. In the origami world, Lang is now a legend, and it's not just his eye-catching, intricate designs that have taken the craft by storm. Some of his work has helped pioneer new ways of applying origami principles to complex real-world engineering problems.

If I'm not mistaken, this is culled directly from a recent NOVA about origami. It was a good episode. Odd they don't give NOVA credit.

Now that PBS is on the political chopping block, it's time to make that overdue donation to your local station before you lose it.

I know they sometimes partner with other organisations, but this time they just say "This story is a part of our Human Condition series". Maybe they sold it to NOVA first?

p.s. Lang's website says "PBS's landmark series NOVA devoted an entire episode to the applications of origami in science, engineering, and technology. Based on the French/German documentary, "The Origami Code."" He also lists this interview as CNN's Great Big Story.

From the trailer, it seems to cover the same ground but has a different narrator.
