DOI: 10.1039/c9mh01368g
Abstract: Metamaterials can achieve naturally unobtainable properties according to how their microarchitectures are engineered. By incorporating robot-inspired actuators, sensors, and microprocessors within their microarchitectures, still more extreme properties and diverse combinations of properties can be achieved;… read more here.
