AI Summary
In this article, engineers discuss the development of a two-dimensional nanomaterial that demonstrates a counterintuitive behavior by expanding perpendicular to the applied force when stretched in one direction. This unique property sets a new record and challenges traditional understanding of materials behavior under stress. The research has significant implications for material science and engineering, opening up possibilities for the design of innovative structures and devices.
Engineers have developed a record-setting nanomaterial which when stretched in one direction, expands perpendicular to the applied force.
