Tensegrity structures (Wikipedia: Tensegrity) may be useful as motives in gemstone based metamaterials. Bigger tensegrity nets need some added redundancy to be able to cope with radiation damage.
Key features of tensegrity structures are:
- + foldability / deployability
- + leightweightness / optimal structure with minimal mass
- - zero stiffness in equilibrium position (quadratic minima) -> "flexible feel"
- - failure at one point leads to complete loss of structural integrity
