Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

Imagine if there were a metallic device that could be transported all squished down into a compact ball, but that would automatically "bloom" out into its useful form when heated. Well, that may soon ...

Researchers have developed 'the first liquid metal lattice in the world.' The team has created a series of prototypes that return to their shapes when crushed. Pu Zhang likes to compare his team's ...
