What is Young's Modulus? Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material. It quantifies the relationship between stress ...

Instrumented indentation, or nanoindentation, is an important technique used for measuring the mechanical properties of materials, and can be conducted in situ even on the circuit board itself. This ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed an organoid disease model and non-destructive stiffness analysis technology for evaluating the efficacy of new drugs for fatty liver disease. The research ...

In hard disk drives, digital information is stored and retrieved magnetically by a “read head” that flies over the disk within tens of nanometers of its surface. Figure 1 is a photograph of a read ...

A common technique used to characterize the mechanical properties of bulk polymer specimens is known as DMA or Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. It is a technique in which oscillatory stress is placed on ...

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a technique utilized to determine the viscoelastic characteristics of materials, particularly polymers, by subjecting them to a continuous, oscillating load ...

Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal. Stiffness is often described as the measure of resistance to deformation when a ...
