(KUTV) Cutting, taping, and folding to make origami objects is not something you'd expect to find in a university engineering lab, but that's exactly what's happening at Brigham Young University.
Engineering students are using the ancient paper-folding technique to create a one-of-a-kind bulletproof shield built to protect officers from speeding bullets.
BYU engineering professor Terri Bateman, and her students, are some of those behind the making of this shield. They call it a foldable origami-base ballistic barrier.
