Physicist Dr. Robert Lang took up origami as a hobby (featured previously at Neatorama). Who knew his hobby would lead to breakthroughs in astronomy, heart surgery, and consumer safety? You’ll be surprised at all the ways intricate paper-folding can be applied to modern technology. Damn Interesting has the story. Link
My 10 year old son is an origami enthusiast, and Robert J. Lang is his hero. While other kids in his 4th grade class are looking up to sports stars, singers and actors, my son wants to grow up to be just like Dr. Lang.
