Years of meticulous experimentation have paid off for researchers aiming to unify the physics that defines materials that transition from solids to liquids. The researchers said a new theoretical ...

The ultrafast dynamics of electrons in solid-state systems have garnered considerable attention recently, driven by technological advancements in the generation of short laser pulses from femtosecond ...

The property of interest that can be modified by water uptake to an amazing degree, and on which we concentrate, is ion conductivity. Such effects are important not only because water is ubiquitous ...

Molten lava and yogurt and are well-known examples of non-Newtonian fluids, also known as soft solids. A soft solid can act like either a solid or a liquid, based upon the stress that has acted upon ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by physicist Peter Debye in 1912, describes the contribution of phonons to the ...

In addition to being one of the most fun words to say—and hardest to spell—in English, “onomatopoeia” probably calls to mind a whole bunch of silly, fun words. Onomatopoeia is the process of creating ...

Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...
