That gives the material strength, as there are fewer places for stress to build up and fractures to form than in hydroxyapatite made haphazardly of larger, more heterogeneous grains.
Mr Mahdavi says his technique could control the size and positioning of the bubbles in such foam, and so determine the material's strength and rigidity.
Even the structures themselves are made with more high-strength material.
This creates a material that combines the strength of glass with the toughness of metal, resulting in a very strong material.
FORBES: Caltech Researchers Develop Cheap Process for Metallic Glass
The researchers report in Biomacromolecules that their new material matches the stiffness, strength and compressibility of expanded polystyrene, a common packaging material that is the bane of many a rubbish dump.
That is because a permanent magnet's maximum strength is dictated by the material it is made from, while an electromagnet's strength depends on the current passing through it.
This massively increases their surface area and hence the charge they can hold, but without impairing the physical strength of the material.
Compelling pieces from within a publication could draw additional subscribers and readers, thereby rewarding the publications that produce the best material with additional traction and strength.
Even galleries focusing on more classical (modernist) material apparently did well, showing an overall strength in the market.
FORBES: What FIAC's Success Says About The Art Market - And Those Who Invest In It
The strength of the high-tech material allows airlines to raise cabin air pressure and increase humidity, which should make passengers more comfortable on long flights.
You have to ask yourself : Is it better to trim Apple into strength or selling into panic if a material adverse development occurs?
So the only sensible material for reducing a conventional car's weight while maintaining its strength is aluminium.
Optim insulation is a hybrid material that combines the biostability and flexibility of high-performance silicone rubber with the strength, tear resistance and abrasion resistance of polyurethane, to provide increased durability and flexibility.
And the strength, lightness, high melting point and ability to resist corrosion of titanium make it an ideal material for building aircraft parts, supercars and medical implants but it can cost 50 times as much as steel.
