Auxetics, which expand when stretched and contract when compressed, defy conventional behavior. NIST researchers have now simplified the process of using them. Imagine pulling on the long ends of a rectangular piece of rubber. It should become narrower and thinner. But what if, instead, it got wi
Researchers have created a new class of materials called "glassy gels" that are half liquid but hard to break, Science Alert reports:

Drexel researchers show concrete with phase-change material can warm itself when temperatures fall. There’s a patch of concrete on Drexel University’s campus that could portend a frost-free future for sidewalks and highways in the Northeast. Tucked inconspicuously next to a parking lot for the un
