Suture‐Inspired Interlocking Metamaterials for Energy‐Efficient Morphing

Morphing metamaterials enable programmable shape changes for soft robotics and wearable systems, but intrinsic softness limits load‐bearing capacity and robustness. Architected particle assemblies connect discrete rigid particles with tendons, enabling compliance and active assembly into stiff, load‐bearing configura...
