Science Daily  June 9, 2023 Origami’s performance is limited by the properties of the constituent materials, including long-term bending, electrical, and thermal conductivity. Researchers in China reported a new method for directly adhering liquid metal onto non-wetting substrates on a large scale, allowing for the regulation of the mechanical and electrical properties of the enhanced paper by controlling the applied force during fabrication. The mechanism of adhesion between different liquid metals (eGaIn and BiInSn) and non-wetting substrates through force was explained. Multifunctional origami structures based on the enhanced paper could switch between several deformation modes and include a shape memory […]
