The Metamorphosis Antidote [PDF]
Neuron, 1999 What if you woke up one morning and your eyes were on the top of your head? You would be confused to see the sky in front of you and would worry that if you took a step to the rear you would smash into the ground. This could never happen unless you lived in a Kafka-esque story and had been transformed into a giant clawed frog.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Geometric constraint reconfiguration enables a rigid–foldable kirigami‐inspired mechanism to switch between twisting, directional translation, and self‐locking states. By encoding multifunctionality directly into its architecture, the mechanism achieves multimodal motion and passive locking without reassembly, providing a compact platform for adaptive ...
