Bone tissue can bear as much weight as reinforced concrete when compared ounce for ounce, a fact that reshapes how ...

Human cortical bone can withstand compressive loads near 170 megapascals before failure, yet it weighs roughly one-third as ...

The invention, patented by SprintRay, describes a system for selectively post-curing SLA 3D printed objects so that different ...

A new study evaluates the mechanical and biological behavior of 3D printed gyroid implants aimed at improving bone ...

Could wound healing dressings adhere better, and could drug delivery patches become more sophisticated? A KAIST research team ...

How the piezoelectric effect can be used with a special nylon for energy harvesting. How the nylon was modified during ...

Olivier Bruyère, University of Liège, Belgium, opened the conversation on the efficacy of intra-articular hyaluronic acid ...

Modulus of elasticity, also known as Young's modulus, quantifies a material's tendency to deform elastically (i., non-permanently) when a force is applied. e.It represents the ratio of stress (force ...

Abstract: We report on a non-destructive, on-chip technique for determining the elastic modulus (EY) of silicon carbide (SiC) thin diaphragms by measuring their nonlinear resonances. Departing from ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

Running is a spring-loaded sport—and no, I’m not just referring to the springy, carbon-plated super shoes that have swept the running world in recent years. Muscles and tendons themselves act like ...

For a long time, I have been measuring the ultrasonic properties of steels used in the energy industry. Such measurements are meaningful for comparison of the initial state of the material with the ...
