Cellular microstructures form naturally in many living organisms (eg, flowers and leaves) to
provide vital functions in synthesis, transport of nutrients, and regulation of growth. Although …

The adaptability of natural organisms in altering body shapes in response to the
environment has inspired the development of artificial morphing matter. These materials …

Transformations in shape are critical to actuation in engineered metamaterials. Existing
engineering metamaterials are typically limited to a small number of shape transformations …

Buckling-guided assembly of three-dimensional (3D) mesostructures from pre-defined 2D
precursor patterns has arisen increasing attention, owing to the compelling advantages in …

Owing to extensive potential applications in various engineering areas, the multistable
metamaterials with remarkable mechanical properties have gained increasing interest from …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) buckling assembly of flexible electronics from strategically
designed two-dimensional (2D) precursor structures has enabled important applications in a …

Shape-morphing structures possess the ability to change their shapes from one state to
another, and therefore, offer great potential for a broad range of applications. A typical …

Shape-morphing structures, which are able to change their shapes from one state to
another, are important in a wide range of engineering applications. A popular scenario is …

The bistability of embedded elements provides a natural route through which to introduce
reprogrammability to elastic meta-materials. One example of this is the soft morphable sheet …

We propose a design for a building block of a periodic cellular material that mimics the
salient behaviors, superelasticity and shape memory, exhibited by shape memory alloys …
