Locally resonant elastic metamaterials (LREM) can be designed, by optimizing the geometry of the constituent self-repeating unit cells, to potentially damp out vibration in selected frequency ranges, thus yielding desired bandgaps. However,…

Structural colours have drawn wide attention for their potential as a future printing technology for various applications, ranging from biomimetic tissues to adaptive camouflage materials. However, an efficient approach to realise robust…
We create mechanical metamaterials whose response to uniaxial compression can be programmed by lateral confinement, allowing monotonic, non-monotonic and hysteretic behavior. These functionalities arise from a broken rotational symmetry…
