Fabricating metamaterial that is both strong and stretchy

MIT engineers have developed a new metamaterial that is both strong and stretchy, overcoming the usual trade-off between stiffness and flexibility. The material starts as a rigid, brittle polymer but is printed into a precise double-network structure. This design combines stiff microscopic struts with a softer woven architecture, allowing it to stretch over four times […]
