Harnessing Origami-Inspired Metamaterials with Magnets

The NC State research team led by mechanical and aerospace engineer Jie Yin has demonstrated how cutting elastic materials with geometric kirigami patterns creates metamaterials with unique mechanical properties. While these metamaterials “snap” open in random sequences when stretched, the researchers discovered that applying magnetic fields allows for programmable, predictable responses.
