A team led by University of Glasgow engineers have developed a new plate-lattice cellular metamaterial capable of impressive resistance to impacts. Plate-lattice metamaterials are cubic structures made from intersecting layers of plates that exhibit unusually high stiffness and strength, despite featuring a significant amount of space between the plates. Those spaces make plate-lattices unusually lightweight. ...
