Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

An international team of researchers have observed a phenomenon called virtual melting in colloidal crystals. They studied how it helps enable changes from one crystalline structure to another ...

To allow realistic stress assessments of BGA modules during drop and shock events, the dynamic mechanical behavior of SAC BGA solder joints was determined by a combination of fast shear tests and FEM ...

Discover how your stress response is actually working for you—and how imagination can help you adapt, even when the world ...

Anxiety, the psychological and physiological state characterized by an anticipation of potential threats and a heightened ...

In this work, we combined three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with flow perfusion bioreactors to evaluate the gradient effects of scaffold architecture and mechanical stimulation, respectively, on tumor ...

The researchers also discovered that the effects of stress are different for men and women. In general, stress has a greater impact on men’s decision making. Under stress women are also better at ...

Some of the effects that therapeutic ultrasound has in medicine and biology may be associated with steady oscillations of gas bubbles in liquid, very close to tissue surface. The bubble oscillations ...

Sometimes you see an FDM filament pop up that makes you do a triple-take because it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. This ...

One of the most important nonlinear rheological phenomena in flowing polymeric materials is the stress overshoot under start-up shear at sufficiently high shear rates γ̇, i.e., γ̇ > τd–1, where τd is ...

Researchers have discovered an unusual plume of magma beneath Oman that may have changed the course of the Indian tectonic ...

"However, we found the opposite was true – that prolonged fasting put stress on the body and increased the number of pro-inflammatory proteins in the blood, potentially increasing the risk of health ...
