Scientists just turned ordinary foam into a breakthrough material that could save lives in everything from military helmets to car crashes. By 3D-printing stretchy plastic columns inside regular foam, they created a hybrid that absorbs up to 10 times more energy than standard padding.
Researchers created a composite material that can repair itself over 1,000 times, potentially lasting centuries instead of decades. The breakthrough could transform everything from wind turbines to spacecraft.
Scientists at UCLA discovered a metallic material that shatters century-old assumptions about heat transport, conducting thermal energy three times better than copper. This breakthrough could revolutionize everything from AI chips to data centers struggling with overheating problems.
