Abstract

Abstract : An origami metamaterial for tunable thermal expansion is described by Katia Bertoldi and co‐workers in article number1700360 . An extremely broad range of thermal‐expansion coefficients can be obtained by introducing bilayer plates and tuning the geometrical parameters of the origami structure. Differently from all previously reported systems, the proposed structure is tunable in situ and nonporous.
