• Flexible Electronics: The Next Ubiquitous Platform (2012, background): “However, the development of recent proposals in spacecraft layout, which incorporates large area, and flexible features such as solar sails [263], could pave the way for the use of thin-film solar cells in space exploration.”
• Origami-based tunable truss structures for non-volatile mechanical memory operation (2016, background): “This can be beneficial for the control of deployable planar structures, such as solar panels and sails [11, 12].”
