Auxetic materials deform in an unusual way when stretched or compressed; they are flexible and adaptable, and, if made from responsive materials, can react to their environment. The opportunities they ...

Inspired by the humble deep-sea sponge, RMIT University engineers have developed a new material with remarkable compressive strength and stiffness that could improve architectural and product designs.

A recent article in Advanced Materials reports the development of a three-dimensional (3D) printed auxetic, self-powered, mechanoluminescent (ML) photonic skin designed for underwater communication ...
