Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

A common technique used to characterize the mechanical properties of bulk polymer specimens is known as DMA or Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. It is a technique in which oscillatory stress is placed on ...

What is Young's Modulus? Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material. It quantifies the relationship between stress ...

Polymer materials play an increasingly important role in a variety of industrial applications, thanks to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Among their key mechanical characteristics, ...

Hysitron nanoDMA III from Bruker is the latest powerful dynamic testing method to perform nanoscale mechanical property measurements. nanoDMA III is fitted with the recently developed CMX control ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight – Application Note) In the realm of nanomechanical measurements, AFM is especially suited to working with soft materials due to its piconewton force resolution and sub-nanometer ...

Joint flexibility is an important measure of physical fitness in humans, especially when it comes to determining athletic performance. It is responsible for protecting the muscle-tendon unit under ...
