Scientists have created a material that is as easy as that can be placed on a dandelion without hampering the delicate structure of the plant.
“Micro-net ultra easy-to-metal” scientists have discovered from California universities and Caltech and UC Irvine company from HRL Laboratories, and the description of the discovery was made in the latest issue of the journal Science on November 18.
The article is accompanied by a photograph of a very impressive piece of this micro-networks, with an unquiet qibriti size, placed on a dandelion.
The new material is 100 times easier by styrofoam, according to the report stated. The secret of its ease of construction is the cell which consists of empty pipes that allow the structure of the material that is actually 99.99 percent air, according to the team of scientists who have built.
This means that the density of the material is less than a thousand parts of water density. The thing is pretty flexible, so that scientists say that even after printing half-height, the material returns to 98 percent of the preliminary final.
Lateral pipes are 1,000 times thinner from human hair.
“Klecka is on building the network of interconnected pipes empty into each material thickness is 1.000 times more thin human hair,” said lead author Tobias Shandler research from HRL Laboratories for the Los Angeles Times.
Micro-nets in the picture with luleradhiqen is built from zinc 90 percent, according to the LA Times, but Bill Carter, director of the department for the design of materials in HRL, told the magazine that she can be constructed from other materials.
One of the scientists from the University of Irvine, who was involved in the project, proposes that the material is ultra-thin, used to absorb shocks, and consider the possible use of the “airline industry”, the sound isolation, and perhaps even for batteries new, “says LA Times.
The material behaves as lëpendra when thrown into the air and falls slowly being shaken to the ground, Carter said. “It takes more than 10 seconds to fall to the ground when released from the height of the arm.”
