Using 3-D printers for the microrange, researchers have succeeded in creating a metamaterial from cubic building blocks that responds to compression forces by a rotation. Usually, this can only be ...

When a material is loaded under stress, the accumulating elastic energy eventually sets off dissipative processes, such as plastic deformation. These processes are generally mediated by dislocation ...

A Purdue University study shows that when water molecules in the gas phase are cooled to very low temperatures, tiny clusters containing eight water molecules naturally arrange themselves into small ...
