Yin's kirigami design, with a cuts' length-to-width ratio of six, dramatically enhances magnetically induced stiffening, making it over 1.8 times stiffer when exposed to magnetic fields.
The team's kirigami dome can lift and hold an object 28 times its own weight, expanding its potential applications in precise manipulation of various items, from fluids to small objects.
The quick response of Chi's shape-shifting surface to changes in the magnetic field, in under 2 milliseconds, positions it as a potential breakthrough for haptic feedback in VR technology.
Yin emphasizes the importance of advancing the resolution of their shape-shifting surfaces, suggesting that the development of smaller domes is crucial for practical haptic applications.
