Abstract This Roadmap covers the status, current challenges, and new science required to address these challenges, for mechanical metamaterials. This is timely, given the sustained increase in mechanical metamaterials research outputs and patents. Sections are grouped according to anomalous properties. These include …

Fabrication of auxetic structures has always been a limiting factor in their availability. Their complex shape, a requirement originating from the deformation mechanism that leads to a negative Poisson’s ratio, has also limited their manufacturability. In the case of auxetic systems that …

In this work a comprehensive computational investigation of thedeformation mechanism governing auxetic behavior in the three‐dimensional covalent organic framework (COF) JUC‐530 is presented. 3D COFs are crystalline porous polymers constructed from organic building blocks linked by covalent bonds, resulting in 3D frameworks …

We report the results of a survey aimed at assessing how beach sprint coastal rowers perceive their sport in terms of injury likelihood and overall risk, their willingness to use personal protective equipment (PPE) and the factors that discourage PPE adoption. Building …

The classic auxetic perforated sheets with diamond‐shaped voids reproducing the rotating‐square topology are re‐investigated and optimised via the incorporation of additional triangular voids at the edges of each diamond perforation. The scope is to make these systems lighter and render their pores …

Abstract The inclusion of Coastal Rowing Beach Sprints in the 2028 Olympic program is reshaping the sport by mainstreaming racing in challenging and unpredictable open-water environments, characterized by waves, sharp turns, and constantly changing conditions. Despite its rapid growth in popularity, further …

The distinctive behaviour of auxetics, i.e., their capability to expand rather than contract laterally when stretched, is inseparable from their geometry and, by extension, their visual character. Unlike most materials, auxetics are inherently both functional and expressive: their lattices, whether re‐entrant, chiral, …

BACKGROUND: This study analyses whether sweep rowers (port, starboard), who in the boat row in an asymmetric movement, sit on the seat of the rowing ergometer in a different manner from scullers, who on the boat row in symmetric manner. METHODS: Twenty-five …

In an era of increasingly problematic global waste management, innovative materials can hold the key to a circular economy. Within such a context, this work aimed at manufacturing, potentially for the first time, auxetic material (i.e., materials with a negative Poisson’s ratio) …

Over the years, researchers have investigated active metamaterials because of controllability of their geometry and mechanical properties. However, despite the undeniable appeal and significance of this direction of studies from the perspective of many industries, researchers have struggled to systematically design such …

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of engineered molecular crystals composed of organic building blocks linked together through covalent bonds. Depending on the composition of their building blocks, COFs have been synthesised as 1D frameworks extending in a single direction, as …
