Metamaterials achieve unprecedented properties from designed architected structures. However, they are often constructed from a single repeating building block that exhibits monotonic shape changes with single degree of freedom, thereby leading to specific spatial forms and limited reconfigurability. Here we introduce a transformable three-dimensional modular kirigami with multiple degrees of freedom that could reconfigure into versatile distinct daughter building blocks. Consequently, the combinatorial and spatial modular assembly of these building blocks could create a wealth of reconfigurable architected materials with diverse structures and unique properties, including reconfigurable 1D periodic column-like materials with bifurcated states, 2D lattice-like architected materials with phase transition of chirality, as well as 3D quasiperiodic yet frustration-free multilayered architected materials in a long-range order with programmable deformation modes. Our strategy opens an avenue to design a new class of modular reconfigurable metamaterials that are reprogrammable and reusable for potential multifunctionality in architectural, phononic, mechanical, and robotic applications.
Kirigami, art of paper cutting, enables two-dimensional sheets transforming into unique shapes which are also hard to reshape once with prescribed cutting patterns. Rare kirigami designs manipulate cuts on three-dimensional objects to compose periodi
Architected materials produced by powder bed fusion metal additive manufacturing technique offer realization of complex structural hierarchies that mimic the principles of crystal plasticity while still being ultralight-weight, though suffering from
Recently it was suggested that transient excitonic instability can be realized in optically-pumped two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials (DMs), such as graphene and topological insulator surface states. Here we discuss the possibility of achieving a t
Van der Waals heterostructure based on layered two-dimensional (2D) materials offers unprecedented opportunities to create materials with atomic precision by design. By combining superior properties of each component, such heterostructure also provid
Using confocal Raman and fluorescence spectroscopic imaging in 3-dimensions, we show direct evidence for Nd3+-Nd3+ interactions across grain boundaries (GBs) in Nd3+:YAG laser ceramics. It is clearly shown that Nd3+ segregation takes place at GBs lea
