The answer is “yes”. Such materials are known as “auxetic materials”. From above, we see than an auxetic material will expand in the transverse directions for a tensile axial load. Consider the ...

Some waves move through a substance because the particles vibrate at right angles to the direction that the wave is moving in, these types of waves are called transverse waves. Other waves travel ...

Materials with "ADCP” or goniopolar conductors, which conduct positive charges (p-type) in one direction and negative charges (n-type) in another, are promising candidates for transverse ...
