The engineers' creation is considered a "metamaterial," or a synthetic material whose microscopic structures lend it unusual properties. In the past decade or so, scientists have used metamaterials to ...

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

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

MIT engineers have developed a new metamaterial that is both strong and stretchy, overcoming the usual trade-off between ...

Scientists have created a scalable cryogenic process for producing borophene sheets that efficiently harvest energy from motion, enabling next-generation flexible electronics.
