(Nanowerk Spotlight) Poisson's ratio describes the fundamental elasticity of any solid. Conventional materials contract laterally when stretched and Poisson's ratio expresses the ratio of transverse ...
The Poisson ratio (defined as −1 times the ratio of lateral to applied elastic strains) describes the behaviour of stretched materials — positive Poisson ratios characterize the expected normal ...
Most materials get thinner when stretched, but “auxetics” do the opposite and get thicker. Helen Gleeson describes her group’s discovery of a material that is auxetic at the molecular level, which ...
This study is led by Prof. Hao Wu (Flexible Electronics Research Center, State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment and Technology, School of Mechanical Science and Engineering, ...
A group of scientists, including specialists from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITF), described a universal characteristic, in which many unique graphene properties are "hidden". It turned ...
Regardless of whether it is strained or compressed, the new material always expands. Copyright: Thomas Heine et al. Researchers have discovered a two-dimensional ...
Osteodentin found in the core of this bottom-dwelling Atlantic Ocean predator's teeth could inspire new designs for stronger, ...
Why auxetic materials offer some unique advantages in sensor fabrication. How additive manufacturing was used with autextic materials to create unique pressure and force sensors. The structure and ...
Australia's Defence Science & Technology Organisation (DSTO) has identified a range of aerospace uses for negative Poisson ratio (NPR) materials and recommends further research. NPR materials become ...
