By combining the ancient Japanese art of paper cutting with nanotechnology, 海角直播 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 UCF\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
