In a project funded by the U.S. Army, researchers at MIT have 3D printed a new material that they say is fracture-resistant and resembles human bone. The goal, one might think, would be to develop ideal replacements for transplant, the perfect hip bone or something along those lines. That may be one application of the research, but, in actuality, one of the major goals of the study was to develop a meta-material that could be used for engineering purposes.…
