Interesting explanation. I'm out of my depth when it comes to materials science, but it seems to me that the answer might lie in how the crystals form when cooling. I.e. tensegrity like structures are known to be the strongest/lightest. So, if we're able to simulate the formation of these 3D crystal bonds and understand the assoc. tension/compression forces in the bonds we could predict the best materials.
