Stress sensors are important tools when it comes to evaluating the robustness of a material facing strong mechanical forces. Researchers have just published an article reporting a new kind of sensor ...

Scientists have discovered a method to transform mesoscopic molecular assemblies into dimensionally distinct out-of-equilibrium structures. (Nanowerk News) Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...
