SYDNEY — Inspired by the natural, twisting patterns of a lobster shell, Australian researchers say they have found a way, using 3D printing technology, to improve the strength of concrete for use in ...

Different structures have different functions or purposes. The individual parts of any structure need to be selected, arranged and fixed together carefully to make sure the structure carries out its ...

Researchers in Australia think they have a way to make concrete even stronger. Needless to say, the building material is already pretty tough, but a study finds it could be tougher. According to that ...

Researchers previously focused on the roles of these complex structures in resisting pressure on the shell, but new researchers provide evidence for a different hypothesis. Complex sutures, they found ...
