The microscopic structure of a material plays a huge role in how well it absorbs impacts, and now researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have hit upon a structure that works particularly well.

3D printed cubes,with intricate fractal voids efficiently dissipate shockwaves, potentially leading to new types of lightweight armor and materials to better withstand explosions and impacts. Tiny, 3D ...

A research team led by Dr. Hyun-Ae Cha from the Nano Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed a high-performance heat-dissipating composite material ...

The sustainable and cost-saving structure could dissipate more than 95 percent of incoming wave energy using a small fraction of the material normally needed. The beautiful, gnarled, ...

Researchers developed a machine learning model that accurately predicts which polyimide structures will form liquid crystalline phases, speeding up the design of thermally conductive polymers for ...
