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 […] Continue reading Fabricating metamaterial that is both strong and stretchy on Tech Explorist.

Affordable hydrogen production with a low-cost palladium-based nanosheet
Hydrogen energy promises a clean and sustainable future, but its production often depends on expensive platinum-based catalysts, making it costly. The industry needs more affordable alternatives to platinum to make hydrogen energy more viable. Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science (TUS) have developed a new catalyst called bis(diimino)palladium coordination nanosheets (PdDI). These low-cost palladium-based […] Continue reading Affordable hydrogen production with a low-cost p...
