The Auxetic Pavilion at Kyushu University examines freely formed, three-dimensional surfaces that are suitable for use as adaptive shading elements. The slender Auxetic Pavilion at Japan’s Kyushu ...
The defining property of an auxetic material is, then, that it possesses one or more negative Poisson’s ratios (as opposed to the positive Poisson’s ratio displayed by ‘normal’ materials). Do you have ...
Currently the uses for auxetics are limited, and in those applications they are probably not knowingly used for the auxetic effect itself. Examples include pyrolytic graphite for thermal protection in ...
Most materials get thinner when stretched, but “auxetics” do the opposite and get thicker. Helen Gleeson describes her group’s discovery of a material that is auxetic at the molecular level, which ...
Regardless of whether it is strained or compressed, the new material always expands. Copyright: Thomas Heine et al. Researchers have discovered a two-dimensional ...
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 ...
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.
Māori artist Maihi Potaka and packaging expert Dr Eli Gray-Stuart have collaborated to created Māori-inspired, auxetic packaging for kiwifruit. Toioho ki Āpiti Māori visual artist Maihi Potaka, Ngāti ...
