An international team of researchers has developed a technique that uses liquid metal to create an elastic material that is impervious to both gases and liquids. Applications for the material include ...

A method has been developed by an international team of researchers that uses liquid metal to produce an elastic material that is virtually immune to both gases and liquids. The material can be used ...

Gel-like materials have a wide range of applications, especially in chemistry and medicine. However, their usefulness is sometimes limited by their inherent random and disordered nature. Researchers ...

The shift to advanced packaging in 3D and 2.5D IC design is making the numerical analysis of thermal warpage in electronic devices a crucial part of the design process. A reliable numerical tool ...

New helmet material is "better than foam" at absorbing impacts By Ben Coxworth November 28, 2019 The material could replace the foam protective padding that currently sits beneath the outer shell of ...

It's not "flubber," but researchers at UMass Amherst have engineered a new rubber-like solid substance that they say has "remarkable" energy qualities. "It's really a composite between an elastic ...

Formlabs is pleased to announce Elastic Resin, the latest addition to our library of Engineering Resins for the Form 2 desktop stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer. Elastic Resin is the most pliable of ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

Introduction Balloons are fun and come in a variety of sizes, colors and forms that make them well suited for decorations, water play, modeling and other creative activities. But balloons also have ...
