This is amazing! Thank you!! 

In this scientific paper, Manu Prakash cleverly includes a reference to his 
Foldscope. Kudos to him—he’s done a great job both scientifically and 
educationally for years.

I found an additional link in the same magazine that I find useful to 
understand the general concept:

I still remember Microsofts "Project Origami" 
(https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna11732808). For a couple of months it was really 
difficult to google origami because all the top results were "Project Origami" 
:-) 

In Danish, I always announce using the word "Origami". It catches the eye. 
Internationally, having a common word provides us with a higher degree of 
coherence. E.g. looking for conventions or books, it is much easier to find 
because we just search for "origami". Yes, we have national words like 
"Papierfalten", "Pliage", "Pajarita", "Papel", "Vika", and Denmark 
"foldning"/"folderier"/"papirfoldning". But we all use the word "origami" in 
the description making it really easy to search. My books might not always have 
"origami" in the title (and I self-publish with "papirfoldning.dk"), but then 
at least the subtitle has the word "origami" in it, precisely to be 
recognisable. 

Then, when I lecture on origami, I make the corrective story about the Mayans, 
Tsai Lun, Ghiery, Fröbel-Kindergartens-went-to-Japan-by-end-1800s, and so on, 
and that, yes, origami is more integrated into Japanese culture than most other 
countries, but look, here in Denmark, we have origami books from the 1930's and 
40s, Hans Christian Andersen wrote about a paper boat and invented the woven 
heart, and "everybody" learns the fortune teller and paper airplanes as 
children. My grandchild at 6 currently folds dozens of airplanes a week, and 
though he might be a tad influenced by me, he learned several of the airplanes 
from his friends at Kindergarten and since last Monday, at school.

I believe "origami" is the word known and used in most different languages, 
which is also part of the grand story about our art. 

Regards,
Hans
