Inspired by the humble deep-sea sponge, RMIT University engineers have developed a new material with remarkable compressive ...

All those sea sponges that live in deep oceans have a secret: their light lattice-like forms are astonishingly stiff and strong. Inspired by these fascinating creatures, researchers at Australia's ...

For a long time, scientists associated crystal structures with an ordered arrangement of atoms in a repeating lattice-like pattern, believing it to be the most stable configuration. However, by the ...
