Revealing Rutherfordine Mineral as an Auxetic Material [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2018 The mechanical behavior of the uranyl carbonate mineral, rutherfordine, UO2CO3, was studied by means of theoretical solid-state methods based in Density Functional Theory using plane waves and pseudopotentials. The results of the computations reported in this work show that this mineral exhibits the important negative Poisson ratio (NPR) phenomenon. In

Material‐Induced Nuclear Deformation Controls Chromatin Architecture in Adipose Stem Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tuning cell and cytoskeleton mechanics modulated nuclear shape and heterochromatin organization in ASCs. Distinct cytoskeletal architectures induced nuclear morphologies from oblate to prolate ellipsoids. Large elongated cells with a structured actin cap exhibited high nuclear strain, driving nuclear envelope deformation and heterochromatin ...
