The InView Method Editor enables custom nanoindentation experiments to measure viscoplastic relaxation, creep, and more.

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 the field of stereolithography 3D printing, the portfolio of commercially available photopolymers has burgeoned. Each material family possesses its individual properties. However, corresponding ...

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 ...

Abstract: Young’s modulus and the Poisson ratio are critical for shale reservoir identification, and oil and natural gas detection since they are elastic parameters that can reflect the fracturing ...

The biophysical properties of polymer based gels, for instance the commonly used Matrigel, crucially depend on polymer concentration. Only certain polymer concentrations will produce a gel optimal for ...

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 ...

The mechanical properties of large arteries play a major role in cardiovascular hemodynamics through the buffering of stroke volume and the propagation of the pressure pulse. 1 2 It is well recognized ...

Tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM), also known as amplitude modulated (AM) or AC mode, is a proven, reliable, and gentle imaging mode with widespread applications. Over the several decades ...
