Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of kirigami, the team has developed a method to transform a simple sheet of material ...

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

Here, the bare whiteness of the site inspired them to cut and fold a sheet of paper, a technique the Japanese call kirigami and that gave the house its name. It’s a version of origami, in which paper ...

McGill University researchers have expanded the capabilities of kirigami-inspired metamaterials to achieve anisotropic ...

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 ...

Perhaps the most interesting part is how much of these technologies borrow from the Japanese art of origami, and the related kirigami. Rather than trying to build three-dimensional structures ...
