I hope you're right. That's what excited me when reading this too.
If the joints are stronger than both materials, we can make layered metals that are crazy strong, and selectively apply more layers only when needed (like carbon fiber).
- roel_v 11y agoHow would that work? Say you have a 'rod', something like this: AxBxAxBxAxB | v Where A and B are the two different metal, and the x's are the joints that are stronger than either A or B. Now we apply force in the direction of my crude vector. Won't it just break at an A or a B section? (I know nothing about all of this, just wondering what I'm missing)
- ars 11y agoThe assumption is that the joint is not a single line, but rather extends into the metal of both A and B to either side, so the whole rod is X. Option 2: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB | v
