Shape reconfigurable devices, e.g., foldable phones, have emerged with the development of flexible electronics. But their rigid frames limit the feasible shapes for the devices. To achieve freely changeable shapes yet keep the rigidity of devices for user-friendly operations, stiffness-tunable mater...
