New research suggests scientists could eventually help create materials that resist breaking or crack in a predictable fashion. Using both a simulation and artificial structures called metamaterials, ...

Scientists could eventually help create materials that resist breaking or crack in a predictable fashion. The findings were the result of experiments and computer simulations in which researchers ...

A new study takes a step forward in clarifying how soft materials, both natural and synthetic, fail under stress. The work by researchers at the University of Illinois Urban-Champaign addresses a wide ...

Materials failures account for a significant percentage of medical device recalls and performance problems but are often overlooked as a potential source of risk. Amy Heintz, PhD Will the materials in ...

To find a link between seemingly disparate disordered materials and their behavior under stress, scientists studied an unprecedented range of disordered solids with constituent particles ranging from ...
