Kirigami (from the Japanese kiru, which means to cut) offers a previously unattainable level of design, dynamics, and deployability to self-folding and self-unfolding materials from the molecular to the architectural scale. "The art of structure is how and where to put holes," said structural engineer and architect, Le Ricolais. The objective of this research project is to take this principle to the next level: buildable, bendable, and biological stuctures. To achieve this, DNA-polymer hybrids are being cut and joined to build on the nanoscale. The project also uses three-dimensional printing and modeling to study and prototype geometries that utilize origami and kirigami designs on the macroscopic scale. If successful, this research will introduce new motifs, portability, and design to form intricate chemical, biological, and architectural materials all from a common language. New tools will be developed to visualize folding and optimization of two- and three-dimensional structures. These tools will generate new hybrid building blocks at the nano- and human-scale, creating new principles of architecture, materials synthesis, and biological structures. New technologies will be developed supporting metamaterials, sensors, stealth aircrafts, and adaptive and sustainable buildings. Like the opening and closing of flowers, satellites, and even greeting cards, this research will offer a rich and diverse set of intricate surprises, problems, and challenges for students at all levels, and broaden their interest and awareness of emerging science and engineering. It will also create a significant opportunity to excite the general public, thus, complementing and enhancing our impact on science, art, and engineering.This project is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation and the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

Kirigami（来自日本的KIRU，意味着要剪切）提供了以前无法获得的设计，动力和可部署性水平，从分子到建筑规模的自我折叠和自我折叠材料。结构工程师兼建筑师勒里科莱斯说：“结构的艺术是如何和何处打孔。”该研究项目的目的是将该原理提升到一个新的水平：可建造，可弯曲和生物构造。 为此，正在切割并连接DNA聚合物杂种以建立在纳米级上。该项目还使用三维印刷和建模来研究和原型几何形状，这些几何形状在宏观尺度上利用折纸和基里加米设计。 如果成功，这项研究将引入新的图案，可移植性和设计，以形成复杂的化学，生物学和建筑材料。 将开发新的工具来可视化二维结构和三维结构的折叠和优化。 这些工具将在纳米尺度和人体规模上生成新的混合构建块，从而创建建筑，材料合成和生物结构的新原理。将开发新技术，以支撑材料，传感器，隐形飞机以及自适应和可持续建筑物。 就像开放和关闭鲜花，卫星甚至贺卡一样，这项研究将为各级学生提供丰富而多样的惊喜，问题和挑战，并扩大他们对新兴科学和工程学的兴趣和意识。这也将创造一个巨大的机会来激发公众，从而补充和增强我们对科学，艺术和工程的影响。该项目由国家科学基金会和美国空军科学研究办公室共同资助。
