Origami Patterns Solve a Major Physics Riddle (quantamagazine.org)

Very interesting article that explains the link between particle collisions and origami discovered by researchers studying amplituhedrons. I came into the article with no prior knowledge of amplituhedrons but now I feel like I see the connections after following the description about how everything fell into place.

It was really well explained. I also found the origami computer article linked interesting, adding to read later.

The author mentioned (Galashin) has some fun software to play with these combinatorial structure.

I went to a talk of his that was "interactive" in that to follow along you could play with an interactive widget, but I can't seem to find it right now. This one about plabic tilings (objects mentioned in the article) is fun too: https://www.math.ucla.edu/~galashin/plabic.html
