Using the design principles of the kirigami, the ancient art of folding and cutting paper, researchers at the North Carolina State University in the US have developed technology that can move ...

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 ...

Finding new angles on an old artform, McGill researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based ...

Traditionally, when it comes to high-tech self-assembling microscopic structures for use in medicine delivery, and refined, delicate grippers for robotics, there’s been a dearth of effective ...
