Fabrication of slender elastic shells by the coating of curved surfaces
Foods industry calls for effective methods to prepare thin shell structures, such as hollow chocolate eggs, which are also relevant to many industrial applications. Here, Lee et al. show how to fabricate hemispherical shells with nearly uniform yet tunable thickness to produce elastic structures.
