Video: Super materials withstand the weight of 100,000 itself

With 3D printing technology, scientists have created a super-light, ultra-durable new material structure, with resistance to masses of 100,000 times its own weight. Materials scientists have used a completely new material, which combines metal, ceramic and flexible plastics and creates a special form of bearing structure.

>>>  The world's lightest solid material

Chris Spadaccini, a materials scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), California, said: 'This structure can withstand 100,000 times its own mass, even more than that. This is an unprecedented type of material with current 3D printing technology. '

This new material is also very light weight, so it could be a substitute for steel structures on buildings such as tall buildings. In their tests, scientists found that the stiffness of this structure was extremely large, even very small warping did not occur when under pressure.

Materials scientists at LLNL said the new material would also change the transport industry. By creating chassis, car covers, aircraft or spacecraft, manufacturers can significantly reduce the weight of these vehicles, while ensuring greater safety when There are super-strength shell frames.
