contents Previous mechanical meta-structures used for mechanical memory storage, computing and information processing are severely constrained by low information density and/or non-robust structural stiffness to stably protect the maintained information. To address these challenges, we proposed a novel reprogrammable multifunctional mechanical metastructure made by an unprecedented building block based on kinematic mechanism. The proposed meta-structure can achieve all abovementioned functionalities accompanying with high information density and promising structural stability. We attribute all these merits to the intrinsic kinematic bifurcations of structural units, which enable the periodic meta-structure with additional and independently deformable bi-stable structural segments, and multi-layered deformed configurations to significantly enlarge the available information bits. We validate the stable information storage are originated from the compatible deformations of local structural segments before and after bifurcations. We illustrated the stored information can be feasibly reprogrammed by magnetic poles. Our design strategy paves new way for creating novel functional mechanical metastuctures.
