  bibo_abstract:
  - 'Elastic surfaces that morph between multiple geometrical configurations are of
    significant engineering value, with applications ranging from the deployment of
    space-based photovoltaic arrays, the erection of temporary shelters, and the realization
    of flexible display systems, to understanding the encapsulation and release of
    viral RNAs. In general, ensuring that a shape with a planar rest configuration
    can deploy into a target three-dimensional (3D) shape is a nontrivial problem.
    Moreover, it is difficult to physically realize the local deformations necessary
    to achieve such global transformation. Here, we give a tutorial on applying conformal
    mapping to rationalize the geometrical deformation of several microstructure designs.
    A conformal map is a function that locally preserves angles and shapes but not
    lengths: some regions are scaled (enlarged or shrunk) more than others. To transform
    a planar surface to 3D, we implement uniform local scalings as mechanical deformations.
    Numerous natural and architected material systems exhibit such behavior, including
    kirigami, origami, hydrogel, linkage mechanisms, and fabric membranes. The design
    and fabrication of conformally transformable surfaces is a transdisciplinary challenge
    involving insights from advanced manufacturing, computational design, material
    science, and mechanics. By recognizing that many material systems exhibit isotropic
    deformation, we hope to inspire researchers to adopt conformal mapping in designing
    next-generation surface-based engineering systems.@eng'
