Shape-morphing finds widespread utility, from the deployment of small stents and large solar sails to actuation and propulsion in soft robotics. Origami structures provide a template for shape-morphing, but rules for designing and folding the structures are challenging to integrate into broad and versatile design tools. Here, we develop a sequential two-stage optimization framework to approximate a general surface by a deployable origami structure. The optimization is performed over the space of all possible rigidly and flat-foldable quadrilateral mesh origami. So, the origami structures produced by our framework come with desirable engineering properties: they can be easily manufactured on a flat reference sheet, deployed to their target state by a controlled folding motion, then to a compact folded state in applications involving storage and portability. The attainable surfaces demonstrated include those with modest but diverse curvatures and unprecedented ones with sharp ridges. The framework provides not only a tool to design various deployable and retractable surfaces in engineering and architecture, but also a route to optimizing other properties and functionality.

Inspired by the allure of additive fabrication, we pose the problem of origami design from a new perspective: how can we grow a folded surface in three dimensions from a seed so that it is guaranteed to be isometric to the plane? We solve this proble m in two steps: by first identifying the geometric conditions for the compatible completion of two separate folds into a single developable four-fold vertex, and then showing how this foundation allows us to grow a geometrically compatible front at the boundary of a given folded seed. This yields a complete marching, or additive, algorithm for the inverse design of the complete space of developable quad origami patterns that can be folded from flat sheets. We illustrate the flexibility of our approach by growing ordered, disordered, straight and curved folded origami and fitting surfaces of given curvature with folded approximants. Overall, our simple shift in perspective from a global search to a local rule has the potential to transform origami-based meta-structure design.
The concept of kirigami has been extensively utilized to design deployable structures and reconfigurable metamaterials. Despite heuristic utilization of classical kirigami patterns, the gap between complex kirigami tessellations and systematic design principles still needs to be filled. In this paper, we develop a unified design method for deployable quadrilateral kirigami tessellations perforated on flat sheets with different topologies. This method is based on the parameterization of kirigami patterns formulated as the solution of a linear equation system. The geometric constraints for the deployability of parameterized cutting patterns are given by a unified theorem covering different topologies of the flat sheets. As an application, we employ the design method to achieve desired shapes along the deployment path of kirigami tessellations, while preserving the topological characteristics of the flat sheets. Our approach introduces new perspectives for the topological design of kirigami-inspired structures and metamaterials.

The cosmic web (the arrangement of matter in the universe), spiders webs, and origami tessellations are linked by their geometry (specifically, of sectional-Voronoi tessellations). This motivates origami and textile artistic representations of the co smic web. It also relates to the scientific insights origami can bring to the cosmic web; we show results of some cosmological computer simulations, with some origami-tessellation properties. We also adapt software developed for cosmic-web research to provide an interactive tool for general origami-tessellation design.
Autonomous materials discovery with desired properties is one of the ultimate goals for modern materials science. Applying the deep learning techniques, we have developed a generative model which can predict distinct stable crystal structures by opti mizing the formation energy in the latent space. It is demonstrated that the optimization of physical properties can be integrated into the generative model as on-top screening or backwards propagator, both with their own advantages. Applying the generative models on the binary Bi-Se system reveals that distinct crystal structures can be obtained covering the whole composition range, and the phases on the convex hull can be reproduced after the generated structures are fully relaxed to the equilibrium. The method can be extended to multicomponent systems for multi-objective optimization, which paves the way to achieve the inverse design of materials with optimal properties.
We developed an inverse design framework enabling automated generation of stable multi-component crystal structures by optimizing the formation energies in the latent space based on reversible crystal graphs with continuous representation. It is demo nstrated that 9,160 crystal structures can be generated out of 50,000 crystal graphs, leading to 8,310 distinct cases using a training set of 52,615 crystal structures from Materials Project. Detailed analysis on 15 selected systems reveals that unreported crystal structures below the convex hull can be discovered in 6 material systems. Moreover, the generation efficiency can be further improved by considering extra hypothetical structures in the training. This paves the way to perform inverse design of multicomponent materials with possible multi-objective optimization.
