Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns—atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors—without relying on the traditionally used ...

Small-scale testing enables the isolation of mechanisms. Instead of measuring the averaged response of a large specimen, ...

Definition: Strain engineering is a critical field of materials science and nanotechnology that involves the deliberate application of strain to alter the physical properties of materials. This ...

Mechanical parts are more frequently subjected to cyclic loads than solely static loads. Fatigue issues are commonly observed in turbine blades, aerospace components, locomotive systems, large ...
