Engineering zero modes in transformable mechanical metamaterials
Reconfigurable elastic properties are essential for functional mechanical metamaterials. Here, the authors propose a 3D metamaterial with engineered zero modes, and experimentally demonstrate its transformability covering all seven extremal metamaterial types, leading to programmable wave functions.
