TL;DR

Australian scientists at RMIT University have successfully 3D printed a titanium structure that is at least 50 percent stronger than the strongest man-made alloy used in aerospace applications, creating a new 'metamaterial' with potential applications in aerospace and medicine. Metamaterials are engineered to deliver properties that surpass those of naturally occurring materials, and this breakthrough could lead to materials capable of withstanding extreme temperature and pressure demands.
