In metamaterials design, the name of the game has long been "stronger is better." Metamaterials are synthetic materials with ...

Engineers have fabricated a metamaterial that is not only strong but also stretchy. Their new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy ...

Typically, these structures combine to enable properties that are usually compatible, including strength combined with ...

A metamaterial, in case you're wondering, is a substance with multiple microscopic structures. Typically, these structures combine to enable properties that are usually compatible, including ...

Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a flexible and durable metamaterial made of acrylic plastic.
