The researchers designed a new type of metal tube with wavy patterns to make it better at protecting people in car crashes. They tested it by squishing it and found that it can absorb more energy than regular tubes. Adding more waves to the tube makes it even stronger. Overall, this new tube design can make cars safer during accidents.
