Most of the big ideas in science have the decency to confine themselves to one or two disciplines. Evolution is strictly in the biological realm. E=mc 2 wouldn't be caught dead outside physics. And ...

A research team has developed soft composite systems with highly programmable, asymmetric mechanical responses. By integrating "shear-jamming transitions" into compliant polymeric solids, this ...

Borrowing an idea from granular physics, researchers design and engineer soft composite materials with non-reciprocal static and dynamical mechanical behaviours, which could power the next generation ...

Abstract: In this article, an integrated optical waveguide sensor is designed and developed to comprehensively analyze the surface electric field distribution characteristics of composite insulators.

Abstract: Graphene is one of the most promising materials for terahertz (THz) plasmonics. Composite layers composed of graphene nanoparticles are easier to fabricate, and their composition variability ...

The small-bandgap semiconductors LnCd 3 P 3 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr and Nd) are promising materials to study emergent phenomena from geometric frustration across bond, spin and charge degrees of freedom.
