Advances in soft materials are reshaping the design of next-generation devices, particularly where flexibility, adaptability, ...

A team of scientists led by Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) has studied how stress and strain evolve in copper (Cu)-plated contacts on heterojunction (HJT) solar cells under various ...

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 ...

The architecture of cultural and community centers in rural areas around the world has become a rich field for experimentation, where tradition and innovation intersect. Rather than replicating ...

An ambitious project that was hatched during the coronavirus pandemic has hit a key milestone as Sanofi has completed construction of Modulus, a vaccine and biological medicine plant that can be ...

Abstract: Winding stress plays a key role in maintaining the initial position of the winding pack in manufacturing superconducting magnets. In this paper, we study the effect of winding tension on ...

If there's one fascinating fact about spiders that everyone knows, it's that their silken webs are deceptively strong. It can have a tensile strength of up to around 1000 megapascals, which can be ...

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 ...
