Summary:
- This article discusses how researchers have developed a new origami-inspired structure that can be easily deployed and folded back up by pulling on a single string.
- The structure is made of rigid panels connected by flexible hinges, allowing it to fold flat for storage and then unfold into a sturdy, three-dimensional shape when the string is pulled.
- This technology could be useful for a variety of applications, such as deployable shelters, medical devices, and space exploration, where compact and lightweight structures are needed.
