Research
Body-Sensing Kirigami
University of Michigan researchers have built a kirigami-inspired sensor that can form to different parts of the human body.
Ice-Shedding Coating
A spray-on coating developed by Michigan Engineering researchers causes ice to fall away from large surfaces with just the force of a light breeze, or often from the weight of the ice itself.
