The new metal material called microlattice was developed by scientists at the HRL Laboratory in Malibu, California. The lab is also owned by Boeing and General Motors.
The new metal can be easy because the material is 99.9 percent. So, then where is the metal element?
So, the microlattice is made of a very small network of tubes. Its weight is 100 times lighter than styrofoam.
This light metal will indeed be applied in the aerospace and automotive industries. The goal is to save energy. So it needs to be made as tall as possible, but not sacrificing structural strength.
Though lightweight, the metal is also very strong. This is because the structure adheres to the principle used to build the Eiffel Tower in France.
The network of small tubes inside the lightweight metal body, which is only 100 nanometers thick (1,000 times thinner than a human hair) forms like bonds and joints on a bridge or Eiffel tower.
Usually to produce a strong structure again lightly, the interior of the structure uses foam materials or lightweight materials arranged in a honeycomb pattern.
With this light metal, the strong structure can be even stronger and the weight is even lighter.
