Using engineered microbes as microscopic factories has given the world steady sources of life-saving drugs, revolutionized the food industry, and allowed us to make sustainable versions of valuable ...

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

Predicting how continuous microscopic strains alter local bond lengths and hopping energies has required computationally taxing physics simulations, frustrating attempts to efficiently scan the ...

With the semiconductor industry moving toward 3D DRAM, 3D logic architectures, and 1000+ layer 3D NAND stacks, 1 mechanical failures may become more common. Due to the complexity of these structures, ...
