Magnetic-Driven Kirigami Metasheet Enables Remote Control of Flexible Surfaces

The article from MSN discusses a breakthrough in material science where researchers have developed a "magnetic-driven kirigami metasheet." This innovative material allows for the remote control of flexible surfaces through the use of magnetic fields. The metasheet, inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami (which involves cutting and folding paper), features precisely engineered cuts that enable it to morph into various shapes when influenced by magnets. This technology could revolutionize several fields, including robotics, where it could enable the creation of adaptive, shape-changing robots, and in medical devices, where it might allow for less invasive surgical tools that can navigate through the body with precision. The article highlights the potential applications, the underlying principles of how the material works, and the significance of this development in advancing smart materials technology.
