A research paper by scientists at the Hebei University of Technology and Shenzhen University developed an on-chip viscoelasticity sensor for biological fluids. The new research paper, published on Jan ...

For centuries, doctors have used their hands as essential diagnostic tools — exploring joints and palpating abdomens to assess a patient’s health. Often a cancer will reveal itself as a lump or ...

A research group from the University of Osaka, ZEN University, and the University of Tokyo has mathematically uncovered the mechanism that causes crack tips to sharpen during the rapid fracture of ...

For centuries, doctors have used their hands as essential diagnostic tools - exploring joints and palpating abdomens to assess a patient's health. Often a cancer will reveal itself as a lump or ...

The study of nonlinear elasticity and viscoelasticity occupies a pivotal role in continuum mechanics, providing essential frameworks to describe materials undergoing large deformations and ...

One of these is not like the others: honey, water, ketchup, and blood. The answer? Water, because the other three are all non-Newtonian fluid. When Isaac Newton first defined the properties of an ...

A project led by Spain's ICFO research center has developed a novel optical tweezer arrangement able to assess the viscoelastic properties of biological materials. Quantifying the mechanical responses ...

PUNE: A group of scientists from the city-based Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) has successfully measured viscoelasticity of single human cardiac muscle protein, titin, ...

T cells experience different mechanical signals in different tissues. Researchers have engineered a tissue-mimicking hydrogel model to show that more elastic tissues induce T cells to become ...
