Microscopic pop-up books: Turning 2D nanostructures into 3D shapes

Producing artificial versions of thin and flexible 3D structures that appear in nature, like neural circuits and networks of blood vessels, is extremely difficult to do at a small scale. Now, researchers have developed a new strategy that makes this easier. They've figured out how to turn 2-D nanostructures into complex 3-D shapes by using the phenomenon of geometric buckling. These minuscule shapes could be applied to biomedical devices, electronics and even energy storage!
