Coercing polymers into a formerly impossible configuration, chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a revolutionary new material that’s stronger than steel and ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology chemical engineers have invented a new type of plastic that is twice as strong as steel and could one day be used as a building material. Dubbed 2DPA-1, the ...

A study describing the new material has been published in the journal Nature. MIT chemical engineers have created a new material dubbed 2DPA-1, which is stronger than steel, as light as plastic, and ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a new material using a new polymerizing process. The material, called 2DPA-1, a type of polyaramide, is said to be as light ...
