Abstract
In article number 1902842, Xiaoyan Li and co-workers summarize the recent advances in design, fabrication and mechanics of 3D micro-/nano-lattices, which is one new type of architected material with minimum characteristic sizes ranging from several micrometers to hundreds of nanometers. Taking advantage of the topological design, structural optimization and size effects of nanomaterials, various 3D micro-/nano-lattices composed of different materials exhibit combinations of superior mechanical properties, such as low density, high strength, large deformability, good recoverability, and flaw tolerance.
