People have been using reinforced rubber for nearly a century, but we still don’t know why it’s so strong. Researchers at the University of South Florida (USF) in the US now say they may have the ...

The mechanical properties of electrochemically deposited Li whiskers critically determine the failure mechanisms of Li metal batteries, yet they remain elusive at the single-whisker level. Here, the ...

In this work, the authors have demonstrated the use of machine learning (ML) models in the prediction of bulk modulus for High Entropy Alloys (HEA). For the first time, ML has been used for optimizing ...

Polymers are often employed in engineering designs because of their ability to damp out shock and vibration. A material’s ability to elastically store energy is characterized by the storage modulus (E ...

Protein-based hydrogels hold a high content of water in their three-dimensional (3D) network structure and exhibit innate biological activities as well as soft tissue-like mechanical properties, ...

Google group: https://groups.google.com/g/elatools?pli=1 We introduce a computational method and a user-friendly code with a terminal-based graphical user interface ...

Gelatin is a commonly used material for analog experiments in geophysics, investigating fluid-filled fracture propagation (e.g., magmatic dikes), as well as fault slip. Quantification of its physical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a micro total analysis system (microTAS) integrating digital microfluidics, acoustic wave microsensors and electronic circuits for rapid sample screening based on liquid ...

Abstract: Single domain YBCO bulk superconductors were prepared using a conventional top-seeded melt growth technique. Artificial holes were introduced to the green sample prior to thermal processing ...
