New Scientist Tech reports that José Bico and his team at the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles (ESPCI), in Paris, in collaboration with a group from the Paris Institute of Technology have demonstrated that water droplets can be used to fold millimeter scale plastic sheets into complex shapes.
The plastic is cut into specific shapes that […]
