Mechanical metamaterials made of freestanding quasi-BCC nanolattices of gold and copper with ultra-high energy absorption capacity
Summary. Researchers created mechanical metamaterials using gold and copper nanolattices with a quasi-body-centered-cubic structure that absorb energy exceptionally well. The high energy absorption comes from combining the metals' natural strength and plasticity with size-reduction effects and the lattice architecture. Because these nanolattices can be scaled up to practical sizes affordably, they show promise for heat transfer, electrical conduction, and catalysis applications.
