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

When materials are created on a nanometer scale — just a handful of atoms thick — even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples affect the ...

The mantis shrimp is a colourful, 10-cm-long resident of the ocean whose appearance belies its reputation as one of the most ...

"For example, I can introduce real-time controlled ... More information: Jian Zhou et al, Rippled metamaterials with scale-dependent tailorable elasticity, Proceedings of the National Academy ...

New research offering bendable sound waves that can reach only one set of ears could be the next tech revolution.

For example, they can bend light in unusual directions, enabling technologies like invisibility cloaks or superlenses that reveal tiny details beyond normal limits. In the last decade, metamaterials ...

This book gives a comprehensive review on thermal metamaterials, an emerging type of artificial ... We include detailed derivations and examples for each theory or method. The book ends with an ...

A new scientific machine learning framework developed by Professors Horacio D. Espinosa, Sridhar Krishnaswamy, and ...

Metamaterials are artificially-structured materials with extraordinary properties not easily found in nature. With engineered three-dimensional (3D) geometries at the micro- and nanoscale, these ...
