Tensioned auxetic fabric that has one direction of action. Credit: DITF. Most of us expect materials to behave in a familiar way. When you pull on fabric, it stretches longer and becomes thinner. This ...
Why auxetic materials offer some unique advantages in sensor fabrication. How additive manufacturing was used with autextic materials to create unique pressure and force sensors. The structure and ...
Abstract: This paper introduces a morphing surface concept based on thermally switchable auxetic unit cells for adaptive aerodynamic applications. The structure combines a flexible membrane made of ...

Inspired by the humble deep-sea sponge, RMIT University engineers have developed a new material with remarkable compressive strength and stiffness that could improve architectural and product designs.
Researchers have developed an innovative tool that accelerates the design of auxetic materials—materials that expand when compressed and contract when stretched. This could lead to broader ...
