MgB2: synthesis, sound velocity, and dynamics of the vortex phase
The sound velocity is measured in polycrystalline MgB2 synthesized from the elements, and the bulk modulus and the Debye temperature are calculated. The conversion of an elastic wave into electromagnetic radiation is investigated in the mixed state.The ...

Probing microplasticity in small scale FCC crystals via Dynamic Mechanical Analysis [PDF]
In small-scale metallic systems, collective dislocation activity has been correlated with size effects in strength and with a step-like plastic response under uniaxial compression and tension.

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix
Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Melt compounding with graphene to develop functional, high-performance elastomers [PDF]
Rather than using graphene oxide, which is limited by a high defect concentration and cost due to oxidation and reduction, we adopted cost-effective, 3.56 nm thick graphene platelets (GnPs) of high structural integrity to melt compound with an elastomer ...

Prediction of concrete strength using ultrasonic pulse velocity and artificial neural networks [PDF]
Ultrasonic pulse velocity technique is one of the most popular non-destructive techniques used in the assessment of concrete properties. However, it is very difficult to accurately evaluate the concrete compressive strength with this method since the ...

Biomimetic Iridescent Skin: Robust Prototissues Spontaneously Assembled from Photonic Protocells
Uniform nanoparticles are induced to form arrays (photonic crystals) in the cores of biopolymer capsules, endowing these ‘protocells’ with structural color. These protocells are then assembled into large self‐standing objects, i.e., prototissues, with robust mechanical properties as well as iridescent optical properties.

Impact of triaxial stress state at various pavement depths on the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture
The mechanical characteristics of asphalt mixture are closely related with its stress state, temperature, and loading rate, therefore, the loading condition of the asphalt mixture's dynamic modulus test should be consistent with the actual temperature ...

Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System
A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...
