A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects ...

A new technical paper titled “Mitigation of Structural Defects during the Growth of 2D van der Waals Chalcogenides by Molecular Beam Epitaxy” was published by researchers at Penn State University.

A house may look perfectly fine or in pristine condition while major problems are brewing within the system or at its foundation or frame. Issues such as foundation problems, moisture, or framing may ...

Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely ...
