The internal thermoelectromechanical transduction loop in micromechanical resonant structures has been studied in this work and utilized to electronically enhance their quality factor or generate ...

Granular materials-from soils to pharmaceutical powders-exhibit mechanical behavior governed by interaction between solid grains and interstitial fluids. Capillary forces critically control these ...

Antarctica is home to a peak shaped like a perfect pyramid — but contrary to what conspiracy theorists say, the mountain's four symmetrical faces were forged through natural processes.

ABSTRACT: Lignin and cellulose chemicals were used as artificial biomass components to make-up a simulated biomass. Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metal (AAEM) as well as volatile matter contents in these ...

A gel at (A) the macroscale (>∼ 10^-4 m) is depicted with schematic illustrations of its topological structure at (B–E) diminishing length scales. (A) At the macroscale, smoothing assumptions permit ...

Since then, CSEM has continued to play a leading role by expanding the boundaries of silicon’s micromechanical structure 2 and honing its skills in the creation and manufacture of unique watch ...

The micromechanical properties of Zr-based metallic glass (MG) induced by laser shock peening (LSP) were studied through the use of nanoindentation. The serrations in representative load-displacement ...
