Hierarchically porous ceramics possess tailored porosity across multiple length scales,
giving rise to materials with low density, high specific properties, and multifunctionality. Here …

For decades, the widespread application of thermoelectric generators has been plagued by
two major limitations: heat stagnation in its legs, which limits power conversion efficiency …

Nanolattices exhibit attractive mechanical properties such as high strength, high specific
strength, and high energy absorption. However, at present, such materials cannot achieve …

Isotropy is an excellent characteristic for load-bearing and energy-absorption that ensures
the cellular structures respond uniformly under external loads in all orientations. This paper …

In practical engineering, noise and impact hazards are pervasive, indicating the pressing
demand for materials that can absorb both sound and stress wave energy simultaneously …

Owing to the pervasive noise and crash hazards, tough microlattices with sound absorption
capabilities are sought-after. However, typical truss microlattices are unable to fulfill this …
