Inspired geometry the secret to light but strong material (Engineers Australia)
(WorldNews Business)

(Source: Engineers Australia) Materials that are both light and strong have many engineering applications, and UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineer and materials scientist Jonathan Berger has come up with a high-performance solid foam material whose secret lies within its structure. Berger conceived of a solid foam material called Isomax, which is light, strong and versatile, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications, from buildings to vehicles to packaging and transport. The reason this material performs so well is due to the three-dimensional...
