All those sea sponges that live in deep oceans have a secret: their light lattice-like forms are astonishingly stiff and strong. Inspired by these fascinating creatures, researchers at Australia's ...
A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...
Innovations in High-Performance Materials It feels like every day there’s some new material promising to do things ...
Researchers used kirigami, the art of Japanese paper cutting and folding, to develop ultrastrong, lightweight materials that have tunable mechanical properties, like stiffness and flexibility. These ...
Ryan Lee has received funding from the Air Force Office of Science Research . The new material is a type of architected material, which gets its properties mainly from the geometry and specific traits ...
(Nanowerk News) Imagine intelligent infrastructure that automatically self-assembles, reshapes and repairs itself on demand. Buildings that organically grow new rooms when needed, self-optimizing ...
Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...
