Scientists invent sound-shaping super-material

A team of researchers from the Universities of Sussex and Bristol has invented a super-material that bends, shapes and focuses sound waves that pass through it. The creation pushes the boundaries of metamaterials – a new class of finely-engineered surfaces…

Breakthrough metamaterials may make buildings immune to earthquakes

Breakthrough metamaterials may make buildings immune to earthquakes

For decades, architects, engineers and construction experts have struggled to find designs and materials that would make buildings more survivable during earthquakes. Now, finally, that breakthrough may have occurred.

In fact, there are likely going to be many uses
