Solution-processed networks of 2D nanosheets are promising for a range of applications in
the field of printed electronics. However, the electrical performance of these networks …

Mechanical metamaterials can be defined as a class of architected materials that exhibit
unprecedented mechanical properties derived from designed artificial architectures rather …

Liquid–fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes
and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in …

This paper reviews recent progress in understanding phenomena such as crumpling, in
which elastic membranes or sheets subject to structureless forces develop sharply curved …

Thin elastic sheets are important materials across length scales ranging from mesoscopic
(polymerized membranes, clay platelets, virus capsids) to macroscopic (paper, metal foils) …

We measure the geometry of a crumpled sheet of paper with laser-aided topography and
discuss its statistical properties. The curvature of an elastoplastic fold scales linearly with …

Mechanical metamaterials such as origami or ordered 3D printed structures have shown
tremendous applications in science and technology. However, the main disadvantage of …

Why is it difficult to refold a previously folded sheet of paper? We show that even crease
patterns with only one designed folding motion inevitably contain an exponential number of …

The intricate three-dimensional (3D) conformations of two-dimensional (2D)
macromolecules play fundamental roles in biology and materials. Diverse conformational …

Crumpling and folding of paper are at first sight very different ways of confining thin sheets in
a small volume: the former one is random and stochastic whereas the latest one is regular …
