The elastic modulus and band gaps are shown to be tunable through the folding process. The proposed concept may be used to fold any arbitrary shape and provides new tools for development of deployable and multifunctional structures. Further details can be found in article 1600646 by Ashkan Vaziri and co-workers. Chiral cellular solids have auxetic effects induced by internal cell rotation. The chirality-induced rotation enables auxetic effects under both small and large deformation. The auxetic effects can be signifi cantly amplifi ed by increasing the internal rotation effi ciency. A new family of chiral cellular composites is developed by adding center cores or softer corner hinges. As proof of concept, the new designs were 3D-printed via multi-material printing. Further details can be found in article 1600609 by Yaning Li and co-workers. Communications Presented is a novel concept to dramatically change size of lattice materials through simultaneous folding of the walls while preserving the overall shape. The elastic modulus and band gaps are shown to be tunable through the folding process. The proposed concept may be used to fold any arbitrary shape and provides new tools for development of deployable and multifunctional structures. For the fi rst time, the concept of amplifying chirality-induced auxetic effect via elevating internal rotation effi ciency is proposed and proved via multi-material 3D printing, mechanical experiments, and fi nite element (FE) simulations. A linear relationship between the internal rotation effi ciency and the Poisson's ratio is discovered. This study provides guidelines to design new chiral cellular solids with robust auxetic effects under large deformation. Bioinspired multifunctional composite of single crystal ceramic platelets and piezoelectric polymer prepared by layer-by-layer approach is described. The composite is transparent, is piezoelectric, and shows large ductility. Effect of the annealing process on the morphology of the polymer phase and on the mechanical properties of the composite is also investigated. The present paper comprehensively investigates the precipitation hardening mechanism in Mg-Nd-Y-Zr-Ca alloy by means of atomic-resolution HAADF-STEM. As shown in the fi gure, a number of complex precipitate structures are unraveled at the atomic scale, which provides new insights into the solid-state phase transformation. In addition, the paper correlates the micro-structural evolution with the mechanical property of the alloy. Experiments show that deformation for diffusion welding with uniaxial pressure depends on aspect ratio and number of bonding planes. For large diameters and small heights deformation decrease. One reason is friction between stamps, possessing a low TEC, and sample. For ...
