Research on Deep-Sea Sponge Yields Substantial Mechanical Engineering Insights

Scientists discover that marine sponge has unique structural properties, lending mechanical rigidity and stability to inherently fragile material

In a paper to be published July 8 in Science, a Lucent Technologies Bell Labs researcher suggests that a tropical deep-sea sponge can teach engineers and architects a lot about building remarkably strong structures from extremely fragile materials.
