Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Houston have achieved sustained self-healing of a composite material. The findings promise to extend the lifetime of aircraft and ...

Younger colorectal cancer patients have abnormally stiff colon tissue that promotes tumor growth, pointing to biomechanical forces as a key factor in early-onset disease.

A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...

The power unit perimeter in Formula 1 is a concept created to manage the materials and design freedom inside the engine, turbocharger, MGU-K, energy store, and their associated systems separately from ...

Scientists have found a way to convert discarded shrimp shells into dense, plastic-like films and objects, a development that could redirect tons of seafood industry waste into a viable substitute for ...

Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve calcification increases leaflet stiffness and contributes to the development of calcific aortic valve disease. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying calcification ...

Zest Boatwork’s current 100% carbon fiber/epoxy design represents the latest chapter in the class’ 70-year evolution from a timber build.

Abstract: The concentric cable-driven manipulator has characteristics of flexibility and slenderness when working in confined space. However, how to optimize a structure with appropriate stiffness ...

Abstract: This article analyzes the composition and characteristics of echo signals in a pseudorandom-coded ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Based on these characteristics, an innovative low-rank ...
