A team of researchers from the University of California along with other institutions has successfully invented plate-nanolattices nanometer-sized carbon structures that are considered to be more reliable and stronger than diamonds in terms of density and strength. Scientists successfully managed in mentally visualizing and manufacturing the material which is made up of closely connected cell plates, rather than just the cylindrical trusses that are often used in such structures over the years. Nanolattices pave the way for engineers that deal with structures, specifically in aerospace. This is because they have been hoping that this combination of low mass density and strength can considerably improve and expand spacecraft and aircraft production in the future.
