00:00Pulling this strange honeycomb lattice actually makes it wider instead of thinning out.
00:05Standard rubber bands and metal rods always narrow down when you yank them apart.
00:10This clever geometric pattern features hinged ribs that rotate outward under tension to defy nature.
00:17The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses these expanding structures for deployable spacecraft solar array shields.
00:25That exact same strange geometry keeps happening whenever pulling this strange honeycomb lattice actually makes it wider instead of thinning
