These bending structures rotate in 3D around a single point, which floats in the air. Applications could be in nanopositioners or spacecraft, as high-precision alternative to ball-and-socket joints.

Co-authors: Just L. Herder and Volkert van der Wijk. The idea builds on work from the group of Dannis Brouwer from UTwente, see this video: youtube.com/watch?v=4fFH2RHpcTY&t=113s&ab_channel=DanBrouwer
