Transforming flat sheets into three-dimensional structures has emerged as an exciting manufacturing paradigm on a broad range of length scales. Among other advantages, this …
From stadium covers to solar sails, we rely on deployability for the design of large-scale structures that can quickly compress to a fraction of their size,,–. Historically, two main …
There is growing interest in creating untethered soft robotic matter that can repeatedly shape- morph and self-propel in response to external stimuli. Toward this goal, we printed soft …
