By combining the ancient Japanese art of paper cutting with nanotechnology, Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ researchers<\/a> have created a super flexible electronic material that could have applications in products ranging from smart jackets to solar cells.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnecting this idea, using kirigami for strain engineering with the nanomaterial we\u2019ve created, this is entirely novel,\u201d says Yeonwoong Jung, an assistant professor in Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s Department of Materials Science and Engineering<\/a> who conceived of the new technique that\u2019s combining art and engineering.<\/p>\n

Strain engineering examines ways to improve the electrical properties of materials. The researchers\u2019 work was recently published as a cover story in the journal Nano Letters.<\/p>\n
