2D-to-3D transformation of ring origami via snap-folding instabilities
Lu Lu, Sophie Leanza, Luyuan Ning +1
Ring origami, consisting of closed-loop rods, is a class of shape-morphing structures that undergo shape transformation through folding enabled by snap-buckling instabilities, refe…
Elastic Rod Origami (RodOri) for Programming Static and Dynamic Mechanical Properties
Sophie Leanza, Jeseung Lee, Ruike Renee Zhao
Reconfigurable mechanical systems enable precise programmable control over structural properties, opening new opportunities in architected materials, adaptive devices, and multifun…
Bioinspired Synergistic Texture and Color Modulation Enabled by Surface Instability of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Xiao Yang, Jay Sim, Wenbin Huang +1
Certain cephalopods can dynamically camouflage by altering both skin texture and color to match their surroundings. Inspired by this capability, we present a cholesteric liquid cry…
Ultra-Efficient Kidney Stone Fragment Removal via Spinner-Induced Synergistic Circulation and Spiral Flow
Yilong Chang, Jasmine Vallejo, Yangqing Sun +1
Kidney stones can cause severe pain and complications such as chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), which uses laser lithotripsy to fragme…
Selective Actuation Enabled Multifunctional Magneto-mechanical Metamaterial for Programming Elastic Wave Propagation
Jay Sim, Shuai Wu, Sarah Hwang +2
Active metamaterials are a type of metamaterial with tunable properties enabled by structural reconfigurations. Existing active metamaterials often achieve only a limited number of…
Milli-spinner thrombectomy
Yilong Chang, Qi Li, Shuai Wu +5
Blockage of blood flow in arteries or veins by blood clots can lead to serious medical conditions. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT), minimally invasive endovascular procedures that uti…
