The substance developed is significantly better than its larger, traditional counterpart as everything operates differently at the nanoscale. Even considering the previously mentioned imperfections, it’s up to 50 times more robust, meaning components don’t necessarily need to be discarded due to perceived flaws. When Caltech’s researchers integrated the same microstructural attributes into models, they were
