Metamaterials enable ultra-efficient mechanical energy storage

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 03, 2025
Mechanical energy storage plays a crucial role across numerous technologies, from energy-absorbing springs to robotic components and energy-efficient machines. By converting kinetic energy into elastic energy, systems can later recover and reuse that energy on demand. Central to this conversion is enthalpy, the measure of how much recoverable energy a material element can store. Achieving high e
