A team from MIT and Saab AB has found a way to bond composite layers in such a way that the resulting material is substantially stronger and more resistant to damage than other advanced composites. The researchers found that the ∼10 nm diameter carbon nanotubes interdigitated between carbon fibers in the adjacent laminae—i.e.,

Airbus has signed a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to explore the use of digital manufacturing in aerospace. Each type of identical part can be individually qualified, and as a cellular material, the periodic nature of their assemblies simplifies the analysis and prediction of their behavior.
