The kagome lattice is composed of three interwoven triangular lattices. For KV3Sb5, each such triangular lattice (denoted red, blue, and green) represent one type of Vanadium sublattice which together ...

Composite lattice structures have emerged as an indispensable solution in high‐performance engineering, particularly in aerospace and civil applications. These structures combine advanced composite ...

Researchers used kirigami, the art of Japanese paper cutting and folding, to develop ultrastrong, lightweight materials that have tunable mechanical properties, like stiffness and flexibility. These ...

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Cellular structures made from metal alloys could strengthen ...

How Do Kagome Materials Work? The exotic physical phenomena observed in kagome materials arise from their special geometric arrangement. The flat bands, which are a hallmark of these materials, lead ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

All those sea sponges that live in deep oceans have a secret: their light lattice-like forms are astonishingly stiff and strong. Inspired by these fascinating creatures, researchers at Australia's ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...

Ryan Lee has received funding from the Air Force Office of Science Research . The new material is a type of architected material, which gets its properties mainly from the geometry and specific traits ...
