ITHACA, New York, Sept. 11 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
The legacy of microscale robotics at Cornell continues to unfold and refold and unfold itself again.
The latest addition is a robot less than 1 millimeter in size that is printed as a 2D hexagonal "metasheet" but, with a jolt of electricity, morphs into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawls.
The robot's versatility is due to a novel design based on kirigami, a cousin of . . .
