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 ...

The work was carried out by researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, who set out to develop materials that can mold balloons into different shapes.

If you have a fear of heights and find yourself falling out of an airplane, you probably don’t want to look up to find your parachute full of holes. However, if the designer took inspiration from ...

Finding new angles on an old artform, McGill researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based engineered materials can take, opening the way to a range of new applications.

Engineers from the University of Bristol have developed a new shape-changing metamaterial using Kirigami, which is the ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper to obtain 3D shapes.

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated how kirigami-inspired techniques allow them to design thin sheets of material that automatically reconfigure into new two-dimensional (2D) shapes and three-dimensional ...

Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of kirigami, this MXene material antenna array was created by researchers at Drexel University and the University of British Columbia. The future of wireless ...
