Bio-inspired lattices have been proved to possess better energy absorption capacity than
conventional structures. Here, the two-dimensional deep-sea glass sponge structure is …

In this work, a new hierarchical lattice design is proposed by replacing the original straight
beams of face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice with a string of higher-level circular beams from …

Geometrical‐frustration‐induced anisotropy and inhomogeneity are explored to achieve
unique properties of metamaterials that set them apart from conventional materials …

Most natural (or biological) materials possess chiral and hierarchical properties, thus can
exhibit outstanding mechanical properties, such as shear resistance, vibration attenuation …

Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have attracted considerable attention because
of their topological properties of low-dimensional topological corner states and edge states …

Metamaterials are engineered materials with unusual, unique properties and advanced
functionalities that are a direct consequence of their microarchitecture. While initial …

Origami metamaterials are known to display highly tunable Poisson's ratio depending on
their folded state. Most studies on the Poisson effects in deployable origami tessellations are …

A partially-auxetic metamaterial is introduced, inspired by the Maltese cross. Each unit of this
metamaterial consists of a pair of counter-rotating equal-armed crosses, which is …

In this article, effective properties of Miura-ori patterned sheets are studied. The thickness of
the facets is allowed to have considerably large values; hence, the structural response of the …

In this work, we propose porous fluororubber/thermoplastic urethane nanocomposites
(PFTNs) and explore their intrinsic piezoresistive sensitivity to pressure. Our experiments …
