A recent breakthrough in Architected materials science could revolutionize how the world thinks of matter. Through the use of specially designed interlaced architecture and new materials, engineers ...

Caltech researchers 3D print chain mail-like material - known as PAM - that responds to some stresses like a fluid and others like a solid.

Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...

We have all seen 3D printing being used in the automotive industry—but have you taken a look at how 3D printing is used for ...

Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material could have ...

Caltech researchers have created PAMs, a new material that acts like both a fluid and a solid under different stresses.

The new material, known as PAM (for polycatenated architected materials) could have uses in areas ranging from helmets.

The resulting materials, which Daraio and her colleagues have rendered using 3D printers ... These lattices were then printed out three-dimensionally using a variety of materials, including acrylic ...
