Imagine pulling the long end of a rectangular piece of rubber and it will become narrower and thinner.
But what if it gets wider and thicker? Now push in from the same end, what happens if the rubber becomes narrower and thinner? Such materials that violate common sense do exist.
They are called auxetic materials and have a range of unique properties that are ideal for making sneaker insoles, bulletproof buildings, car bumpers and clothing.
, (Photo source: National Institute of Standards and Technology) Despite the huge potential, the launch of auxetic products is slow, and researchers are committed to changing this situation.
According to foreign media reports, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Chicago have announced The development of new tools that make it easier and faster to design materials with auxetic properties.
This tool is an algorithm that enables accurate three-dimensional expansional material design.
