Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use ...

With the semiconductor industry moving toward 3D DRAM, 3D logic architectures, and 1000+ layer 3D NAND stacks, 1 mechanical failures may become more common. Due to the complexity of these structures, ...

Chromium doped lithium aluminate converts mechanical stress into near infrared light without pre charging or afterglow, enabling precise sensing and imaging in security and biomedical applications.

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

Theory of elasticity: elastic stability, principal of minimum potential energy, Raylegh-Ritz methods. Introduction to finite element methods of stress analysis: computer implementation and use of ...

The ability of cancer cells to metastasize, or spread from one part of the body to another, is one of the reasons why cancer can be extremely challenging to treat. However, the process that drives ...
