Mechanical metamaterials exhibit properties and functionalities that cannot be realized in
conventional materials. Originally, the field focused on achieving unusual (zero or negative) …

Metamaterials are rationally designed composites aiming at effective material parameters
that go beyond those of the ingredient materials. For example, negative metamaterial …

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made structures with counterintuitive mechanical
properties that originate in the geometry of their unit cell instead of the properties of each …

Topological mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures whose unusual properties are
protected very much like their electronic and optical counterparts. Here, we present an …

Artificial spin ices consist of nanomagnets arranged on the sites of various periodic and
aperiodic lattices. They have enabled the experimental investigation of a variety of …

Architected materials can actively respond to external stimuli—such as mechanical forces,
hydration and magnetic fields—by changing their geometries and thereby achieve novel …

potentially new class of adaptive energy-saving building envelopes.[30–32] To control the …

In this paper we discuss the transformation of a sheet of material into a wide range of
desired shapes and patterns by introducing a set of simple cuts in a multilevel hierarchy with …

Mechanically flexible and conformable materials and integrated devices have found diverse
applications in personalized healthcare as diagnostics and therapeutics, tissue engineering …
