The material could someday be used in flexible semiconductors, tear-resistant textiles, bioengineering scaffolds, and more.

A team of MIT researchers developed a new fabrication method that allowed to make existing materials strong but stretchy.

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

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 ...

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