Featured on the cover of a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is a paper by Physics graduate student Hunter King, former postdoc Robert Schroll, and professors Benny Davidovitch and Narayanan Menon. Their work identifies a fundamental difference in the symmetry-breaking processes that lead to wrinkling and crumpling of a thin sheet.
