Our work on additive #kirigami is out in @NatComputSci! We developed an efficient framework for kirigami design using simple linear algebra techniques and two fabrication strategies to realize our designs physically. See https://t.co/DcNaCE5WA8

How did Darwin’s finches evolve their distinct beak shapes? New research from @Mahadevan_Lab combines evolutionary biology and applied math to develop a unified understanding of the growth, form and function of Darwin’s finch beaks

[Gary Choi @garyptchoi]

Darwin’s finches are a classic example of adaptive radiation with highly diversified beak shapes. How do geometry and dynamics connect form, function and evolution of the finch beaks?

How are pavement patterns related to #kirigami?

It is known that there are exactly 17 types of periodic tilings (the wallpaper groups). In our work in #ProcA @RSocPublishing, we show that all of them can be used for creating deployable structures. See: https://t.co/ReNhXhbvUI
