Don’t dive in, wade through it
Scientists have used AI to create one of the strongest and lightest materials ever—carbon nanolattices with record-breaking strength-to-weight ratios.
Scientists have developed a revolutionary shape-memory alloy that is lightweight, ultra-strong, and superelastic, even in extreme cold. This breakthrough material, made from titanium, aluminum, and chromium (Ti-Al-Cr), could transform space exploration, medical implants, and advanced engineering. With the ability to bend and recover its shape across a wide temperature range, this alloy is set to redefine durability in deep space, high-tech devices, and everyday applications.
From scientific wonders to human triumphs, we spotlight the ideas, innovations, and people making the world cooler, smarter, and better.
