"Mechanics-guided Deterministic 3D Assembly"

Naturally-formed, complex 3D structures provide essential functions in even the most basic life forms. Fabricating analogous architectures has been limited by materials growth and assembly capabilities. Now, origami-inspired construction of these formations using advanced materials has made it possible to design a variety of 3D geometries. A broad range of application opportunities exist, including semiconductors, radio frequency devices, neural networks and soft electronics.
