Earth is a stressed planet. As plates move, magma rises, and glaciers melt—just to mention a few scenarios—rocks are subject to varying pressure and compressional and extensional forces. The effect of ...

Traditionally, active metasurface researches have primarily focused on changing the dielectric constant and permeability of the substrate, which frequently results in resonance effect and ohmic loss.

At peak deformation, they're primed with a charge through the electrodes, bringing their capacitance up equal to their unstressed state, and the elastic works against the electric charge to bring them ...

Can the Thermal Properties of Shape Memory Alloys be adjusted for Heating and Cooling Applications? Thermal parameters, especially thermal expansion, play a key role in the performance of shape memory ...
