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.

Researchers at IIT Guwahati studied the thermal performance of 3D-printed lattice-patterned concrete walls in buildings. The ...

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

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 ...

Engineers developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin 'skins' of electronic material that could be used in applications such as night-vision eyewear and autonomous driving in foggy conditions.

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

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

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