Engineering researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have achieved breakthroughs in multi-material ...

Most importantly, the resulting structure often has properties that the underlying lattice unit doesn't possess. For example, individual bone cells or coral polyp skeletons aren't very strong ...

The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b ...
