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

(Nanowerk News) A research team in the Department of Electrical and EIIRIS at Toyohashi University of Technology has developed a donut-shaped kirigami device for EMG recordings. The proposed device ...

Researchers used kirigami, the art of Japanese paper cutting and folding, to develop ultrastrong, lightweight materials that have tunable mechanical properties, like stiffness and flexibility. These ...

The American Institute of Steel Construction’s 2024 Forge Prize winner Mile Zero is a conceptual steel shade structure inspired by Japanese art and complex technique kirigami. Similar to origami, ...

WASHINGTON, March 29, 2022 -- As advances in wearable devices push the amount of information they can provide consumers, sensors increasingly have to conform to the contours of the body. One approach ...

Yu used the kirigami principal on a thin sheet of imaging sensors, making cuts which allows it to stretch and curve. Compared to other stretchable structure designs, such as thin open-mesh serpentine ...

A stretchable and bendable transistor has been made by researchers in the US by applying the principles of kirigami – the Japanese art of paper cutting – to graphene. The researchers have also made ...

Researchers have developed new soft-material structures which can hold nearly 14,000 times their weight using the Japanese art form of kirigami -- a version of origami that allows materials to be cut ...

When a user pulls the string, the structure moves smoothly into its final 3D form. If the user releases the string, the ...
