Extended Data Fig. 6

a, An annulus encoded with alternating domains that are equidistant. b, An annulus encoded with alternating domains that vary in size. c, A Miura-ori fold encoded with alternating oblique patterns of ferromagnetic domains. d, A hollow cross encoded with alternating ferromagnetic domains along the perimeter. e, f, Quadrupedal (e) and hexapedal (f) structures enabled by folding of the magnetically active segments surrounding the magnetically inactive segments. g, Two adjoining hexagonal tubes programmed to form undulating surfaces under applied magnetic fields. h, A pyramid-shaped thin-walled structure programmed to elongate in its diagonal direction along applied magnetic fields. ik, A set of auxetic structures (with negative Poisson’s ratios) programmed to shrink in both length and width under applied magnetic fields. The dimensions in this figure are given in millimetres.
