The article discusses the transformable topological mechanical metamaterials (TTMM) developed by assistant physics professor at the University of Michigan, Xiaoming Mao and colleagues. It states that the surface of TTMM can transform from being soft to hard and revert to being soft. It mentions the applications of the TTMM such as automobile components and tires that can adopt to hard surfaces.
