Credit: SciTechDaily.com A team of international researchers has developed a groundbreaking class of mechanical metamaterials capable of storing and releasing elastic energy at unprecedented levels.

First, an elastic energy model of the aspirated cell was established to analyze the effects of intracellular pressure on MA results. Then a force analysis of MA process was conducted to evaluate the ...

The eccentric phase, characterized by controlled muscle lengthening, is essential for storing elastic energy and preparing the jumper for an explosive lift-off. This is followed by the concentric ...

They have developed a new class of mechanical metamaterials—artificially engineered structures that store and release elastic energy more efficiently than ever before. This innovation could lead ...

An international research team coordinated at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) has developed mechanical metamaterials with a high elastic energy density. Highly twisted rods that deform ...
