Until now, designing complex metamaterials with specific mechanical properties required large and costly experimental and simulation datasets. The method enables ...

Join us in bridging the gap between simulation and experimental data and contribute to the advancement of programmable mechanical metamaterials. First-class honours (70%) Upper second-class honours ...

This Collection aims to gather cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of mechanical metamaterials, delving into their potential to exhibit unusual properties via disorder, aperiodicity ...

In metamaterials design, the name of the game has long been "stronger is better ... "We also want to try this approach on more brittle materials, to give them multifunctionality," Portela says. "So ...

Portela and his colleagues will report their findings in the journal Nature Materials ("Double-network-inspired mechanical metamaterials"). His MIT co-authors include first author James Utama Surjadi ...

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

In metamaterials design ... "So far we've talked of mechanical properties, but what if we could also make them conductive, or responsive to temperature? For that, the two networks could be ...

While composed of sub-wavelength structures, Frequency Selective Surfaces are capable of manipulating electromagnetic ...
