Abstract

Reconfigurable Inflatables Surface crumples in inflatable structures, traditionally regarded as a failure mode, are instead harnessed to design reconfigurable structures across scales and to develop advanced impact-mitigation systems. More details can be found in the Research Article by Katia Bertoldi and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/advs.202600074).
