Abstract
Research News: Solids that become fatter in cross-section when stretch ed are rare, but do exist. How such materials-which have a negative Po isson's ratio-can be created with specific properties, the implication s of these unusual properties, and recent advances are discussed. The Figure shows an example of a negative Poisson's ratio structure with m echanical isotropy in two dimensions: the laminate of Milton.
