Invited by the Hong Kong Science Museum, Prof Jon LO gave a talk on 'Origami and Mathematics', as part of the seminar series of ‘Science in Public Service’.

The seminar introduced the application of Mathematics in paper folding.

One well-known technique is called 'Miura fold', which was invented by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura, for assembly of solar panel on satellite.
