Creep and anti-creep

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 400, issue 6740, 121-121

Abstract: The sap in tall trees is thought to be under permanent tension. In the same way that some materials are only stable under high compression, Daedalus hopes to engineer new materials that are stable under strong tension. Such substances may show ‘anti-creep’, which could be exploited to make self-tightening materials.
