Inspired by the humble deep-sea sponge, RMIT University engineers have developed a new material with remarkable compressive strength and stiffness that could improve architectural and product designs.

All those sea sponges that live in deep oceans have a secret: their light lattice-like forms are astonishingly stiff and strong. Inspired by these fascinating creatures, researchers at Australia's ...
