The future of wireless technology -- from charging devices to boosting communication signals -- relies on the antennas that transmit electromagnetic waves becoming increasingly versatile, durable and ...

Inspired by kirigami, a type of Japanese paper art, researchers have created a new material that transforms from a grid into ...

There is a lot engineers can learn from Japanese paper folding art forms, from cheap batteries made from paper and water to tiny robots that are activated by heat. While origami gets a lot of the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Like a yoga novice, electronic components don’t stretch easily. But that’s changing thanks to a variation of origami that involves cutting folded pieces of paper. In a study published ...

After a few decades of electronics developing at a dizzying pace–from personal computers and flip phones to wearable devices, smartphones and tablets–there are signs technological breakthroughs are ...

The Vietnamese youth are becoming increasingly absorbed with the modern-day art of kirigami (the creation of 3D paper artworks). The Vietnamese youth are becoming increasingly absorbed with the modern ...

Polytechnique Montréal engineers designed parachutes based on kirigami—cutting paper into intricate patterns—that can automatically adapt in mid-air. The design has the potential to make air ...

A new, cutting-edge concept for solar panels started with two tools: paper and scissors. Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, researchers at the University of Michigan have created a lattice-like ...

Try gift-wrapping a soccer ball, and you will quickly encounter the geometric abyss between paper’s inherent flatness and a sphere’s natural curves. “The very first bit seems to sort of match, but as ...

Scientists describe how kirigami has inspired its efforts to build malleable electronic circuits. Their innovation -- creating tiny sheets of strong yet bendable electronic materials made of select ...
