Researchers Are Developing a Material That Doesn’t React to Heat

Researchers at the University of Southern California have been trying to make a material that doesn’t respond to heat, and it seems they’re getting close. If they’re able to create this sci-fi-like unobtanium, it could have big applications in construction and engineering. Most materials expand when they’re heated, which can be a huge engineering challenge. […]
