This is a work created using kirigami techniques.

Today is National Cat Day "Really?!"

ちぎり絵で作った作品です。

how the fuck do artists draw people kissing this is the most difficult thing i’ve ever drawn in my life

makoto was supposed to be on the left but i got lazy.

this is my mona lisa btw, don't think i can peak it

Novel kiri-origami structures enable high-performance stretchable electronics

Stretchable electronics are used in smartphones, smartwatches, curved displays, and wearable sensors. However, stretchable materials like elastomers have lower electrical performance than rigid materials such as metals or semiconductors, creating a trade-off between flexibility and function. To overcome this challenge, researchers have explored origami and kirigami, traditional Japanese paper folding (ori-) and cutting (kiri-) techniques, as strategies to achieve stretchability even when using non-stretchable electronic materials. Origami uses hinges to create flat, rigid-mountable panels by bending, while kirigami introduces slits for full-structure deformation and is better for large-area designs. However, kirigami is less suited for mounting rigid components. In a recent study, Professor Eiji Iwase and Mr. Nagi Nakamura from the Department of Applied Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering at Waseda University, Japan, developed an innovative hybrid technique using kiri-origami structures.
