Many natural cellular solids exhibit a quadratic scaling relationship between modulus and density: The distinction is that unlike cellular solids, highly porous gels are not completely mechanically ...

In hard disk drives, digital information is stored and retrieved magnetically by a “read head” that flies over the disk within tens of nanometers of its surface. Figure 1 is a photograph of a read ...

Instrumented indentation, or nanoindentation, is an important technique used for measuring the mechanical properties of materials, and can be conducted in situ even on the circuit board itself. This ...
