Composite materials have revolu­tionised a wide range of industries, including aerospace and automotive, offering unrivalled strength, lightness and design flexibility compared to more conventional ...

This schematic shows an engineered material with composite layers. Layers of carbon fibers (the long silver tubes) have microscopic forests of carbon nanotubes between them (the array of tiny brown ...

Mathematicians have found that they can design a range of composite materials from moiré patterns created by rotating and stretching one lattice relative to another. Their electrical and other ...

It is important to choose the right kind of composite core material that works as intended and offers the properties specified for users’ applications. However, there are many practical material ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have struggled to create synthetic materials that can sense and respond to their environment with the precision needed for advanced robotics and smart devices. A key ...
