In the class "Ideas and Expressions of Design", offered by International Design Institute of ZJU, 98 freshmen exchanged from Signapore University of Technology & Design made nearly 40 different kinds of “animals” after learning a series of knowledge and techniques in ZJU, such as design, programming and origami. Here are their products. Please enjoy and be amazed by these origami robots!

    Resonance is a universal phenomenon in relevant fields such as optics, electricity, acoustic waves and mechanics. Resonant devices and systems have wide applications in various domains in modern society. A century-old tenet in physics and engineering asserts that any type of system, having bandwidth Δω, can interact with a wave over only a constrained time period Δt inversely proportional to the bandwidth (Δt·Δω ~ 2π). This law severely limits the generic capabilit...

 The research team, led by Prof. Gao Chao from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, has developed a new grapheme film marked by its superflexibility―it has more than 6,000 cycles of ultimate folding and can tolerate 10,000 bending times. This groundbreaking study has addressed a tough problem with macroscopic materials―inability to possess both ultrahigh thermal conductivity and superflexibility, thereby opening the door to wide applications in highly ef...
