Out today @NatureComms. Achieving shape shifting from one to many under simple actuation&control is challenging. We report a #transformer-like hierarchical #origami metastructure. It can self-transform into 1000 configurations with only 3 actuation inputs. https://t.co/EydFGw6UDS
Just received official notification of my promotion to full Professor at NC State, effective August 16! Many thanks to my amazing past and current students, mentors, colleagues, friends, and my lovely family for their incredible support throughout my journey! Journey continues!
I am incredibly honored to be part of this cohort and I look forward to collaborating with many of you to make changes. https://t.co/9x8BHu861a via @NatGeo
Thrilled to receive the #PECASE award! This wouldn’t be possible without my amazing students and postdocs & the support of @NSF MoMS program. Grateful to contribute to #kirigami engineering. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way! https://t.co/q0707urnwq
Funded Postdoc & PhD positions available at Zheng's lab, Drexel University 🎓. Focusing on soft materials & metamaterials. Seeking candidates with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, polymer science, & more. 📧 Apply: [email protected] with CV & research interests!
This work is in collaboration with the great team, Prof. Joe Tracy at NCSU (co-corresponding author), Prof. Emily E. Evans at Elon Univ., Matthew Clary, @QiFangjie, Haoze Sun, Saarah Cantu, and Catherine Capodanno.
Out today @ScienceAdvances at https://t.co/Ahl7HUvEmn. We @YindingChi report a highly deforamable magnetic kirigami dome metasheet for dynamic shape shifting, yet strong enough for heavy non-magnetic object manipulation without grasping. We thank the funding support from @NSF.
Out today @ScienceAdvances https://t.co/YQUDqKQTwA highlighted on @ScienceMagazine frontpage. We @HQING0712 report a #mantaray-like soft robotic surface and underwater swimmer that is fast, efficient, maneuverable, and collision resilient, only requiring a single actuation input
