Researchers have invented the first mechanical material that reacts asymmetrically with one rigid and one soft side. On applying force on the softer side, the effect on the other side is very small, whereas on applying the same force on the rigid side, it is amplified on the other side. The metamaterial's applications include soft robotics, prosthetics and energy harvesting.
