Radar stealth structures that can achieve high-efficiency wide-angle absorption are key components of future military equipment. However, it is difficult for both planar and three-dimensional (3D) absorbers to achieve efficient absorption in a large incidence angle range. The multilayer reconfigurable absorber component based on Miura origami provides a unique solution. First, the multilayer origami absorber is parameterized in the simulation software. Each origami structure is covered with resistive films that fit the panels. Geometric constraints are satisfied among the multilayer structures. They support reconfigurability in the range of continuous states (as opposed to discrete states), which is conducive to finding the folded state with a more efficient absorption rate within the frequency band. Secondly, the designed structure does not require a specialized mechanically supported multilayer origami absorber. In addition, the equivalent analogue circuit method is used to analyze the efficient absorption of multilayer origami under oblique incidence. Finally, our proposed absorber satisfies the requirements of multiple absorption metrics: broadband, high efficiency, wide incidence angle, and polarization insensitivity. As the validation, we simulated and fabricated a double-layer origami absorber. Our proposed origami absorber can maintain an absorption rate of more than 90% for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations in the operating frequency band (5-20 GHz) over a wide range of incidence angles (0°-70°). When the incidence angle q = 40°, the double-layer origami absorber (q= 90°, α= 60°, and a= 75°) can achieve at least 10 dB reflection reduction of -18 dB and -20 dB in TE and TM modes, respectively. The proposed origami absorber provides a reference for the design of other absorbers.

Prosthetic knees represent a prevalent solution for above-knee amputation rehabilitation. However, satisfying the ambulation requirements of users while achieving their comfort needs in terms of lightweight, bionic, shock-absorbing, and user-centric, remains out of reach. Soft materials seem to provide alternative solutions as their properties are conducive to the comfort aspect.

Next-generation fabrics with excellent protection and intelligent sensing abilities will be beneficial to protect the elderly from accidents, as the ageing population will be a global challenge in the next decade. However, for widely used techniques such as fabric coating and multi-layer compositing, maintaining a balance between comfortability, stable anti-impact protection, and multi-function such as intelligent monitoring remains elusive. Herein, a full-fiber composite yarn with triboelectric ability was developed, which was then woven into an origami-structured knitted fabric (OSKF).

Reconfigurable metamaterial absorbers (MAs), consisting of tunable elements or deformable structures, are able to transform their absorbing bandwidth and amplitude in response to environmental changes. Among the options for building reconfigurable MAs, origami/kirigami structures show great potential because of their ability to combine excellent mechanical and electromagnetic (EM) properties. However, neither the trial-and-error-based design method nor the complex fabrication process can meet the requirement of developing high-performance MAs.

DNA origami is an emerging technology that can be used as a nanoscale platform in numerous applications ranging from drug delivery systems to biosensors. The DNA nanostructures are assembled from large single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) scaffolds, ranging from hundreds to thousands of nucleotides and from short staple strands. Scaffolds are usually obtained by asymmetric PCR (aPCR) or infection/transformation with phages or phagemids.
