AUGENIC from the Greek eugonike, 'good origin'; physical: which grows in size when pulled. A material, when stretched, thins due to the new molecular distribution, as would be the case with an elastic. Engineers of the U . of Chile investigate the possibility of creating an AUGENIC material, which increases its volume by stretching or expanding it without the intervention of gaseous elements). It would be useful to transport it in a small space, with excellent applications in space conquest and colonization.
