I'd be curious what kind of variation there was across his 54 different designs. If he's discovered the existence of a narrow window where strength dramatically increases, that seems a much more interesting find than if this whole family of origami patterns is knowns to perform well and this variant just happened to be slightly better than the rest. It's exciting to think that there may be super strong designs just waiting to be found with a little bit of rigorous refinement.

It has a particularly cool region in its configuration space where it can be bistable: https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.93.033005 https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.93.03...
