Tacit engagement in humanitarian action: making sense of silence and secrecy in humanitarian negotiations

Journal of International Humanitarian Action
Secrecy and silence regarding the compromises and trade-offs made by frontline humanitarians in order to achieve access, protection, efficiency and legitimacy are a widely observable but underconceptualized phenomenon in humanitarian action. As a form of

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.
