Auxetics

Auxetics are structures or materials that have a negative Poisson's ratio. When stretched, they become thicker perpendicular to the applied force. This occurs due to their particular internal structure and the way this deforms when the sample is uniaxially loaded. Auxetics can be single molecules, crystals, or a particular structure of macroscopic matter. Such materials and structures are expected to have mechanical properties such as high energy absorption and fracture resistance. Auxetics may be useful in applications such as body armor, packing material, knee and elbow pads, robust shock absorbing material, and sponge mops. (Wikipedia).

Differences Between Natural & Artificial Ecosystems | Ecology & Environment | Biology | FuseSchool

An ecosystem can be defined as a large, highly interconnected area of the planet that is composed of several different biotic and abiotic components. A good example of an ecosystem would be an entire forest or mountain range. A natural ecosystem is made of all the plants, animals, and en

IDTIMWYTIM: "Organic"

In the world of chemistry, an "organic" compound is often described as anything with carbon in it, and "organic chemistry" is the study of carbon compounds, but there is actually no single definition of what "organic" means in chemistry, and scientists have been arguing about it for a long

Acids and Bases - Short Revision || CBSE Science || || Infinity Learn Class 9&10

Acids and bases are two types of substances that are fundamental to chemistry. An acid is a substance that donates protons (hydrogen ions, H+) to a solution, while a base is a substance that accepts protons or donates hydroxide ions (OH-) to a solution. There are several ways to define and

3D Printing Auxetic Materials | Two Minute Papers #96

In this episode, we shall talk about auxetic materials. Auxetic materials are materials that when stretched, thicken perpendicular to the direction we're stretching them. In other words, instead of thinning, they get fatter when stretched. _____________________________________ The paper

Materialism Podcast Ep 21: μ-Auxetics

This episode covers a fascinating class of materials called auxetics. Experience tells us that when we pull a material in tension, it should shrink; auxetics do the opposite. By shifting, winding, or rotating, these materials get wider when stretched and thinner when compressed. * Lakes R

Auxetic mechanisms are linkages that expand in all directions when pulled on. The classic example is the Hoberman sphere, a network of hinged arms formed into a sphere whose radius increases as the mechanism flexes. Our new examples are truly three-dimensional auxetics, tiling three-dimens
