Abstract In 1903, Alexander Graham Bell developed a design principle to generate
lightweight, mechanically robust lattice structures based on triangular cells; this has since …

The trade-off of strength and ductility of metals has long plagued materials scientists. To
resolve this issue, great efforts have been devoted over the past decades to develo** a …

It is not easy to fabricate materials that exhibit their theoretical 'ideal'strength. Most methods
of producing stronger materials are based on controlling defects to impede the motion of …

Ceramics have some of the highest strength-and stiffness-to-weight ratios of any material but
are suboptimal for use as structural materials because of their brittleness and sensitivity to …

Metallic microlattice is a new class of material that combines useful mechanical properties of
metals with smart geometrical orientations providing greater stiffness, strength-to-weight …

Over the past several decades, lattice materials have been developed and used as
engineering materials for lightweight and stiff industrial structures. Recent advances in …

The integration of materials and architectural features at multiple length scales into structural
mechanics has shifted the paradigm of structural design toward optimally engineered …

A sulfur/graphene composite is prepared by loading elemental sulfur into three-dimensional
graphene (3D graphene), which is assembled using a metal ions assisted hydrothermal …

The design of high performance structural materials is always pursuing combinations of
excellent yet often mutually exclusive properties such as mechanical strength, ductility and …
