Rigidly flat-foldable class of lockable origami-inspired metamaterials with topological stiff states

While origami-inspired metamaterials can spatially fold, they usually collapse along the deployment direction limiting applicability. Here authors introduce a cellular structure that can be reprogrammed in-situ to not only deploy and rigidly flat-fold but also lock and offer rigidity across all dire...
