Il Dolomiti: La magia dei metamateriali

Il Dolomiti highlights Diego Misseroni’s research on origami-inspired metamaterials, recognised at the Premio Trentino per la Ricerca. The article explains how engineering the microstructure of materials — assembling unit cells “like Lego” — enables extreme and tunable physical properties, from guiding waves and seismic shielding to creating adaptive, shape-changing systems for robotics, biomedicine and renewable energy.
