Young's modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of the materials when force or compression is applied. Young's modulus relates to the elasticity of the material, which is ...

Cancer remains a major global health challenge. The mechanical behaviour of cancer cells has been actively studied across multiple fields 1,2,3,4. Both cancer and non-cancer cells respond to physical ...

Polymer materials play an increasingly important role in a variety of industrial applications, thanks to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Among their key mechanical characteristics, ...

Impact of Gleason score 4+3 on biochemical treatment failure in Japanese patients treated with monotherapeutic permanent interstitial brachytherapy. Background: We aimed to characterize material ...

City University of Hong Kong researchers have accidentally discovered a first-of-its-kind alloy that retains its stiffness instead of softening as the temperature rises. Indeed, high-entropy Elinvar ...

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a technique utilized to determine the viscoelastic characteristics of materials, particularly polymers, by subjecting them to a continuous, oscillating load ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to absorb and dissipate impact energy is crucial for protective materials in transportation and aerospace. Traditional materials face a fundamental limitation: they ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...
