Auxetic materials are a marvel of engineering, defying common sense with their unique properties. When stretched, these materials become wider and fatter, rather than narrower and thinner like conventional materials. This exceptional characteristic opens up a wide range of applications, from sneaker insoles to bomb-resistant buildings. The Challenge of Bringing Auxetic Products to Market Despite
In a groundbreaking study published in Science, researchers from the Paul-Drude-Institute for Solid State Electronics (PDI) in Berlin, Germany, and the Centro Atómico Bariloche and Instituto Balseiro (CAB-IB) in Argentina have observed a time crystal on a microscale semiconductor chip. This observation revealed exceptionally high non-linear dynamics in the GHz range, demonstrating a strong connection
