More than 2 million adults living in the United States rely on a caregiver's assistance to eat daily meals. In addition to ...

Perhaps the most interesting part is how much of these technologies borrow from the Japanese art of origami, and the related kirigami. Rather than trying to build three-dimensional structures ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a kirigami-inspired mechanical computer that uses a complex structure of rigid, interconnected polymer cubes to store, retrieve and erase ...

Interestingly, Princeton University engineers have created innovative 3D structures from a single piece of material by combining the art of paper cutting and folding. They have developed 3D structures ...

Finding new angles on an old artform, McGill researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based engineered materials can take, opening the way to a range of new applications.

The authors of Kirigami House, the architectural partnership of John Sparano and Anne Mooney, are based in Salt Lake City and have built several inventive houses in the scenic wonderland of Utah.

Scientists develop a stretchable paper-based generator that creates electricity from water evaporation, offering a flexible ...

Paper is a modest material with rich affordances for craft and design. In this work, we explore shaping carbon-coated paper with manual and digital fabrication processes to create functional and ...

为解决机械可重构超表面波控能力受限问题，复旦大学研究人员开展基于 kirigami 旋转变换的超表面研究。结果实现多自由度调控，制出波束翻转器和分裂器。该研究为电磁调控及多领域应用开辟新方向，值得科研人员一读。

Drawing inspiration from ancient art forms – kirigami (paper cutting) and origami (paper folding) – researchers have found a new way to create metamaterials. Artificially engineered ...
