Tensegrity metamaterials

These novel tensegrity -- a design principle where isolated rigid bars are integrated into a flexible mesh of tethers to produce very lightweight, self-tensioning truss structures -- metamaterials employ isolated compressive loop elements exclusively connected through a continuous network of tensile members (highlighted in magenta).
