A robotic laboratory that may produce and check mechanical constructions with out human supervision has found probably the most energy-absorbing one measured up to now, beating the earlier report held by balsa wooden.

There are numerous methods to check how powerful or resilient a construction is, however one frequent measure is the vitality absorbing effectivity, or the quantity of mechanical vitality one thing can take up with out failing.

Protecting constructions, like the froth in bike helmets or the metallic in automobile crumple zones, are inclined to have excessive …
