Class opens door to a new world of mechanical engineering.

MIT MechE innovates the traditional Mechanics and Materials II class by exposing students to leading-edge concepts of nanotechnology, nanomechanics, and metamaterials. For a “Design Challenge,” they are asked to architect a nanoscale material able to withstand the greatest compression, with the winner receiving possibly the world’s smallest trophy.

I wish I was smart enough for MIT 😕

The nano trophy is the cherry on the top!

[@kayzoku1]

what device are you using to do those pillar compressions? it's incredible!

[@anshXR]

goosebumps man!
