Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have devised a new class of materials that can shift seamlessly between ...

Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.

Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material ...

This image shows how a PAM looks in its fluid or granular state, conforming to the shape of the vessel in which ... as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material, known as PAM ...

Instead of simple interlocking rings, they are made up of complex, interconnected shapes arranged in three-dimensional patterns with nearly limitless configurations. These unique structures, created ...

Scientists Create New Type of Matter A team of scientists from Caltech has introduced a novel form of matter, dubbed polycatenated architected materials (PAMs). This unique material, not found in ...

A recent breakthrough in Architected materials science could revolutionize how the world thinks of matter. Through the use of specially designed interlaced architecture and new materials, engineers ...

This design was brought to life through the use of state-of-the-art 3D ... shape or lattice connection directly affects how the material behaves, consistently showing a transition between fluid ...

On contract missions you'll also be able to use extra chance cubes provided by your fellow crew members ... as you go along (you meet an engineer who can gluegun them back into shape). But it's ...
