HIGHLIGHTS
- who: David M. J. Dykstra and collaborators from the Institute of Physics, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam , XH, The Netherlands have published the research: The extreme mechanics of viscoelastic metamaterials, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: In this Research Update the authors show that the interplay between mechanical instabilities and viscoelasticity can be crucial and that they can be harnessed to obtain new functionalities. The authors have discussed a few examples where this approach has been used to create metamaterials with shape-changes that depend on the loading rate. The relaxation test results are presented in Fig . . .
