This study focuses on the nature-inspired gradient-based approach to re-designing re-entrant anti-trichiral (REAT) honeycombs through extensive experimental quasi-static compression. Novel perspectives on REAT honeycomb are offered through the introduction of gradient distributions on two critical g...
