Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

How core-shell nanoparticles work At the heart of the study are core-shell nanoparticles, where a core made of one or several metals is coated with an ultra-thin platinum shell. Platinum is an ...

Shell structures—thin, curved elements such as cylinders, spheres and domes—are prized for their high strength-to-weight ratio but are exceptionally sensitive to buckling instabilities. Even minute ...
