Summary

This article covers Author Correction: Large recoverable elastic energy in chiral metamaterials via twist buckling and provides comprehensive coverage of the key details and implications.

Correction to: Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-08658-z Published online 12 March 2025 In the version of the article initially published, the authors erroneously used \({F}_{{\rm{s}}}=\frac{{E}_{{\rm{s}}}\pi {r}^{2}}{4{L}_{0}}\) to normalise F 1rod in calculation instead of \({F}_{{\rm{s}}}=\frac{{E}_{{\rm{s}}}\pi {r}^{2}}{4{L}_{0}^{2}}\) . This affected the y -axes of Fig. 2a,c, Extended Data Figs. 2a, 3b, 4a, 5a and 7c. In the “Buckling of chiral and non-chiral rods” section, it also affected a numerical value in the sentence now reading “Here, the same chiral rod with R = 6 mm and α 0 = 5° gives max( F 1rod / F s ) = 24,” where 24 appeared originally as “0.8”. The axes of Fig. 2a,c, Extended Data Figs. 2a, 3b, 4a, 5a and 7c, as well as the numerical value above, have now been multiplied by 30 and updated. In addition, in the Methods, the expression for Δ out was erroneously typed as \({\varDelta }_{{\rm{out}}}={\pi }^{4}{a}_{{\rm{out}}}^{2}/4{L}_{{\rm{s}}}\) ; the correct expression is \({\varDelta }_{{\rm{out}}}={\pi }^{2}{a}_{{\rm{out}}}^{2}/4{L}_{{\rm{s}}}\) . The two corrections do not affect the analyses and conclusions of the article. The text and figures have been updated in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
