Abstract
Described herein are unit cells including a base plate; a top plate; and a lumen extending longitudinally from the base plate to the top plate, the lumen defined by a side wall formed from a plurality of cojoined panels extending between a bottom surface of the top plate and a top surface of the base plate. The unit cell can be magnetically actuatable, such that the unit cell can be reversibly transitioned between a contracted configuration, an extended configuration, or a combination thereof using an applied magnetic field.
