Versatile building blocks make structures with surprising mechanical properties
CBA researchers have created four different types of novel subunits, called voxels (a 3D variation on the pixels of a 2D image). Left to right: rigid (grey), compliant (purple), auxetic (orange), chiral (blue). Image credits: Benjamin Jenett, CBA By David L. Chandler Researchers at MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms have created tiny building blocks …
