Design Principles and Challenges of Shape-Morphing Mechanical Metamaterials
Why Shape-Morphing Mechanical Metamaterials Matter? In the past, materials were static. They stayed in one shape unless a human or machine forced them to move.Today, a new generation of shape-morphing mechanical metamaterials is changing that rule. These materials can twist, bend, and stretch when exposed to heat, light, or magnetic fields. They are smart, adaptive,…
