Origami traces its origins to an ancient art form transforming flat thin surfaces into various
complex, fabulous 3D objects. Nowadays, such transformation transcends art by offering a …

Origami has served as the inspiration for a number of engineered systems. In most cases,
they require nonpaper materials where material thickness is non-negligible. Foldable …

Shape-morphing capabilities are crucial for enabling multifunctionality in both biological and
artificial systems. Various strategies for shape morphing have been proposed for …

Origami patterns, including the rigid origami patterns in which flat inflexible sheets are joined
by creases, are primarily created for zero-thickness sheets. In order to apply them to fold …

Superelastic conducting fibers with improved properties and functionalities are needed for
diverse applications. Here we report the fabrication of highly stretchable (up to 1320%) …

DNA origami enables the precise fabrication of nanoscale geometries. We demonstrate an
approach to engineer complex and reversible motion of nanoscale DNA origami machine …

The traditional waterbomb origami, produced from a pattern consisting of a series of vertices
where six creases meet, is one of the most widely used origami patterns. From a rigid …

Deployable structures can realize the transformation from a folded configuration to a
deployed configuration to satisfy the requirements of applications. They have been widely …

Deployable structures have the capacity to transform and predictably adopt multiple
predetermined configurations, moving through known paths, while deploying in a controlled …

Recent advances in active materials and fabrication techniques have enabled the
production of cyclically self-deployable metamaterials with an expanded functionality space …
