Mathematician Proves Minimum Folds for Origami Torus | Science News

Mathematicians cracked the code on folding a paper torus in just 24 folds—fewer than anyone thought possible—using origami and even AI, though the robot made up stuff that nearly derailed the project. Richard Schwartz proved you can’t do it with seven vertices, then nailed it at eight, resulting in a mathematically perfect—but oddly doghouse-shaped—doughnut.
