Explore the new material that transforms from solid to liquid on demand, revolutionizing technology in various fields.

Imagine a suit of chainmail armor that flows like water when touched lightly but locks into place when struck with force. This is not far off from what PAMs can do. The term polycatenated ...

A recent study published in the journal Antiquity sheds new light on how Roman soldiers maintained and repaired their chainmail armor on the empire's northern frontiers. Researchers from Czechia ...

Resembling the interlocking links in chainmail, the nanoscale material exhibits exceptional flexibility and strength. With further work, it holds promise for use in high-performance, light-weight body ...

that are—put incredibly simply—collections of interconnected links structured like chainmail armor. “PAMs are really a new type of matter,” Chiara Daraio, senior author of the study from Caltech, said ...
