In recent years, lattice kirigami metamaterials have attracted considerable attention due to
their unconventional and often intriguing mechanical properties. However, the absence of a …

Frustration hinders ideal local interactions in systems ranging from artificial spin ices with ice
rules to mechanical metamaterials featuring regular floppy modes. While geometric …

Mechanical metamaterials have considerable application potential, but are often limited to
single applications owing to material and manufacturing constraints. To achieve a “single …

The snap** sequence of multistable metamaterials is critical for their applications in
elastic wave control and energy release. Despite being a fundamental property, the effect of …

We explore a new design strategy of leveraging kinematic bifurcation in creating
origami/kirigami-based three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical, reconfigurable, mechanical …

Deployable structures are extensively used in engineering. A bistable panel structure,
inspired by multistable origami, is proposed, capable of deployment and folding powered by …
