Active mechanical metamaterials (AMMs)(or smart mechanical metamaterials) that combine
the configurations of mechanical metamaterials and the active control of stimuli‐responsive …

Liquid crystal elastomers are active materials that combine the anisotropic properties of
liquid crystals with the elasticity of polymer networks. The LCEs exhibit remarkable …

Low modulus materials that can shape-morph into different three-dimensional (3D)
configurations in response to external stimuli have wide-ranging applications in …

Structures that significantly and rapidly change their shapes and sizes upon external stimuli
have widespread applications in a diversity of areas. The ability to miniaturize these …

Large deformations of soft materials can give rise to the development of various elastic
instabilities. The phenomenon is associated with a sudden and dramatic change in structure …

DNA and proteins fold in three dimensions (3D) to enable functions that sustain life.
Emulation of such folding schemes for functional materials can unleash enormous potential …

Recently, low-dimensional Ruddlesden–Popper (LDRP) perovskite-based solar cells
(PSCs) have been extensively studied because of their robust stability. However, because of …

This work introduces a simple, dynamically amplified mechanical actuator incorporating a
whirling string (or beam) as an active element. One of the ends of the string is fixed, while …

Advancements in mycelium technology, stemming from fungal electronics and the
development of living mycelium composites and skins, have opened new avenues in the …

Bio-integrated electronics have captured significant attention among researchers due to
their potential to revolutionize healthcare with smarter and more personalized applications …
