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 ...

(2012), potential applications and the state of the art at the time were explored ... Instead of the folding of the paper creating the final shape, with kirigami it are the initial cuts made ...

Researchers have built a mechanical computer inspired by kirigami, the Japanese art of paper-folding and cutting. The proof-of-concept computer, which includes no electronic components ...

Nanopapers that swell into larger 3D structures pave the path towards designs of intelligent materials like robotic sensors ...

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