The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not ...

Biomass is an abundant renewable resource in Nigeria. Comprising crop and animal residues, manure, charcoal and wood, it accounts for about 80 per cent of Nigeria’s total primary energy consumed.

Conductive hydrogels from ionic liquids are widely used in soft electronics and solid electrolytes due to their high flexibility and conductivity. However, engineering such hydrogels with simultaneous ...

In this work, the mechanical characteristics of ... for the water-rich surrounding rock. For the strain-softening surrounding rock, the macro cracks gradually increase once the crack initiation stress ...

The basic mechanical properties (stress-strain curve, compressive strength, elastic modulus, peak strain) of concrete specimens subject to sulfate attack under high strain rate were obtained, and the ...

The alloy’s properties make it ideal for future space missions, such as creating superelastic tires for lunar rovers to navigate the extreme temperature fluctuations on the Moon’s surface.” ...
