mit.eduJul 2018 Kirigami-inspired technique manipulates light at the nanoscale
Nanokirigami is based on the ancient arts of origami (making 3-D shapes by folding paper) and kirigami (which allows cutting as well as folding) but applied to flat materials at the nanoscale. Now, researchers at MIT and in China have applied this approach to the creation of nanodevices to manipulate light, potentially opening new possibilities for light-based communications, detection, or computational devices. --

Wolfram received a PhD in physics from the CalTech at age 20. His thesis committee included Richard Feynman. After research on cellular automata, he wrote "A New Kind of Science" which argues that for fundamental reasons, simple computational systems, rather than traditional mathematics, are needed to model and understand complexity in nature. --
