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

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

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

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

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

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 ...

The presence of disorder causes worms to speed up, not slow down – a surprising result with applications in robotics ...

MIT engineers have developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin "skins" of electronic material. The method could pave the ...

With years of technical and cost optimization, Enchampion Aerospace Technology turns its low-cost triple junction GaAs solar ...
