A generalized thermoelastic model for adhesion was developed to elucidate the mechanism of dissipation within the viscoelastic bulk of a hydrogel. Results show that in …
Here we investigated the fracture and wrinkling in graphene with topological defects using atomistic simulations and continuum models. We first studied the flaw insensitive fracture …
Developing high energy density battery systems has emerged as a major challenge in recent years. Silicon is considered to be a promising anode material for …
Generation of forces is essential for the migration of neutrophils to the sites of infection or injury. The mechanical properties and local confinement of the …
The mechanical interaction between cells and their microenvironments is a significant factor affecting biological and physiological processes. Cell-matrix interactions have historically been measured by computing …
In 1959, physicist Richard Feynman gave a historical lecture: `There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom'. Even after sixty years, the exciting field of nanotechnology …
