Kirigami-Inspired Material Can Adhere to Flexible Surfaces for Improved Bandages and Wearables

Researchers at MIT have developed a thin, light-weight film that can securely adhere to flexible and deformable parts of the body, such as the knee and elbow. The key to the sticking-power of the material lies in a series of slits the researchers have cut into it, inspired by the Asian art of kirigami, which involves cutting and folding paper.
