With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by ...

A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

A house may look perfectly fine or in pristine condition while major problems are brewing within the system or at its ...

A research team led by Prof. Sergey Kharintsev has answered a long-standing question: why the refractive index of spatially confined media, such as quantum dots, nanocrystals and thin films, can ...

When a home inspection report lands in your inbox, your eyes probably jump to the obvious: the roof, the furnace, maybe the ...

A new technical paper titled “Mitigation of Structural Defects during the Growth of 2D van der Waals Chalcogenides by Molecular Beam Epitaxy” was published by researchers at Penn State University.

Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely ...
