Emergent reconfigurable mechanical metamaterial tessellations with an exponentially large number of discrete configurations

Metamaterials are a class of engineered materials that often violate the routine assumptions that apply to ordinary materials. While metamaterials are typically assembled from carefully designed mesoscale units, the intended bulk-scale functionality can be obscured by unintended emergent effects dri...
