A research team from the Institute of Biological Information Processing (IBI-3) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, working with partners across Germany, has developed an innovative technique for folding ...

Kirigami-engineering has become an avenue for realizing multifunctional metamaterials that tap into the instability landscape of planar surfaces embedded with cuts. Recently, it has been shown that ...

(Nanowerk News) Kirigami (also called "paper-cuts" or "jianzhi") is one of the most traditional Chinese folk arts. It is widely used in window decorations, gift cards, festivals, and ceremonies, etc.

A new technique that mimics the ancient Japanese art of kirigami may offer an easier way to fabricate complex 3D nanostructures for use in electronics, manufacturing and health care. Kirigami enhances ...

Kirigami-inspired 3D microelectrodes enable brain activity recording from surface to depth, offering new tools for neuroscience and future medical neurotech. (Nanowerk News) A research team from the ...

A new approach to producing metamaterials draws on kirigami techniques to make three-dimensional, reconfigurable building blocks that can be used to create complex, dynamic structures. Because the ...

Kirigami, a traditional paper cutting art, offers a promising strategy for 2D-to-3D shape morphing through cut-guided deformation. Existing kirigami designs for target 3D curved shapes rely on ...

A new form of robot unveiled this week could power daring search-and-rescue missions…by curling up at the first sign of heat. The “active kirigami” robots, developed by a team at North Carolina State ...
