Silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) have been successfully synthesized recently. Despite the wide potential applications of SiNTs, their mechanical properties are rarely reported. In this study, as the first ...

Nanoindenters are precise, adaptable, and user-friendly tools for performing nanoscale mechanical testing on various films and surfaces. Nanoindentation systems with electromagnetic actuation achieve ...

Ms. Hao is the author of “Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI.” On his second day in office this year, President Trump underscored his unequivocal support for the tech industry.

The clinical performance of dental implants is strongly defined by biomechanical principles. The aim of this study was to quantify the Vicker's hardness (VHN) and elastic modulus (E) surround bone to ...

Introduction: This study developed an elastic silicone appliance material incorporating sodium fluoride (NaF) and evaluated its mechanical properties, biocompatibility, antibacterial effects, and ...

Abstract: In this article, a new method is presented to calculate the in-plane elastic modulus of nanometer silicon membrane. In comparing with the traditional model, it accounts for the discrete ...

Ultrasonic guided wave (UGW) technology based on piezoelectric sensors is considered a very promising technology for aircraft structural damage detection. Traditional piezoelectric sensors are made of ...
