The mechanical properties of electrochemically deposited Li whiskers critically determine the failure mechanisms of Li metal batteries, yet they remain elusive at the single-whisker level. Here, the ...

The fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) is vital for tissue regeneration and impacts implanted device treatments. Previous research on fibrous biomaterials shows varying cellular reactions to surface ...

Abstract: Shear-wave elastography imaging has been commonly used in the literature to characterize shear-wave propagation in order to estimate shear modulus in soft tissues. Instead of bulk shear ...

Vibration is a common phenomenon when a structure is exposed to one or multiple mechanical or environmental actions, always at great cost to lives and to the economy. In order to reduce the adverse ...
