Individual layers of synthetic materials can collaborate for greater impact

Geordie Torr
May 19, 2025

A team of engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and elsewhere have found a way to mimic the physical-stress-dissipating behaviour of the layered material found in the shells of marine organisms, such as seashell nacre, by programming individual layers of synthetic material to work collaboratively under stress. The new material design is poised to…
