A team of researchers has developed a new type of bicycle helmet that offers better protection for cyclists.
The helmet design uses special geometric shapes in a shock-absorbing material to effectively protect the head during accidents.
The material structure of the helmet, called an auxetic metastructure, contracts inward upon impact, absorbing more energy and reducing the force that reaches the head.
The helmets can be custom-made using 3D printing, providing better safety and improved comfort for individuals with different head shapes.
