Engineers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick report the creation of flexible, lightweight materials with 4D printing that could lead to small implantable biomedical devices, among other applications. Their study (“4D Printing Reconfigurable, Deployable and Mechanically Tunable Metamaterials”) appears in Materials Horizons. “Exotic properties of mechanical metamaterials emerge from the topology of micro-structural elements. Once manufactured, however, […]
