Plasticity, plasticity, plasticity…and the rigid problem of sex [PDF]

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2013
Why is popular understanding of female–male differences still based on rigid models of development, even though contemporary developmental sciences emphasize plasticity? Is it because the science of sex differences still works from the same rigid models?

Mechanical behavior of stretchable conductive materials based on elastomeric core: experimental and theoretical simulation

Functional Composite Materials, 2022
The mechanical behavior of braided carbon nanotube yarns (CNTYs) on an elastomeric core to produce stretchable conductive materials were theoretically modeled and experimentally studied under tension. The elastomeric core served as the stretchable spring
