Lucas Meza, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, started his lab to build a new generation of tough and light nanomaterials inspired by natural materials like wood, shell and bone. Instead, he discovered “big gapsâ€� in our basic understanding of what makes a material tough or brittle. Meza spoke to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ News about his strange and surprising journey into the nano realm.
