Abstract
A theoretical and experimental investigation is conducted of a two-dim ensionally chiral honeycomb. The honeycomb exhibits a Poisson's ratio of -1 for deformations in-plane. This Poisson's ratio is maintained ov er a significant range of strain, in contrast to the variation with st rain seen in known negative Poisson's ratio materials.
