a–c, A metamaterial exhibits 8 × 8 orthogonal line modes along the vertical and horizontal directions. Metamaterial at rest (a) and under horizontal and vertical compression (b) in simulations. c, Corresponding force–displacement curves. d,e, 3D unit cell with three orthogonal buckling modes localized along surfaces. Structure at rest (d) and in linear buckling stability analysis along three directions (e) (see Supplementary Video 5).
