説明

<jats:title>Elastic ceramics</jats:title> <jats:p> Aerogels hold promise as lightweight replacements for thermal insulation. However, poor mechanical stability has hampered progress in moving toward commercialization. Xu <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> designed a mechanical metamaterial that pinches in a small amount when you compress it (see the Perspective by Chhowalla and Jariwala). This is characteristic of materials with a negative Poisson's ratio and dramatically improves mechanical stability. The trick was using three-dimensional graphene structures to template the ceramic aerogels, thus producing a superinsulating material endowed with excellent mechanical properties. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6428" page="723" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="363" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aav7304">723</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6428" page="694" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="363" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aaw5670">694</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
