Researchers at McGill University have created a new origami-inspired structure that can transform flat sheets into smooth, curved 3D shapes that switch from soft and flexible to stiff and load-bearing whenever needed. The breakthrough could help develop future technologies such as emergency shelters, wearable medical devices, soft robots, smart fabrics, and even deployable space structures.
