We’re dusting off a classic from the vault, because some stories are too good not to share again! Check out this video we made in 2017.

Twenty-five years ago, physicist Robert Lang worked at NASA, where he researched lasers. He also garnered 46 patents on optoelectronics and wrote a Ph.D. thesis called "Semiconductor Lasers: New Geometries and Spectral Properties." But in 2001, Lang left his job to pursue a passion he’d had since childhood: origami. In the origami world, Lang is now a legend—and this Great Big Story documentary tells his true story. 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.
