a Design setup. Metastructures with switchable buckling behaviors enabled by magnetic stimuli under b compressive load; and c tensile load. d Metastructure with switchable multi-stage buckling behaviors under compressive load. Note: the deformed configurations at the circled locations on the FD curves demonstrate the ensured snap buckling through ‘switching on’ the magnetic field.
