Plasticity in cancer cells describes their inherent ability to undergo alterations and turn certain features on and off at different times. This flexibility sometimes occurs as a result of epigenetic ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) used hydrogels mixed with dinoflagellates and single-celled microalgae to make mechanoluminescent living composites that are very strong ...

Are your environmental test results exposing true device weaknesses, or just reflecting extreme stress conditions?

Running extreme distances may strain more than just muscles and joints. New research suggests ultramarathons can alter red blood cells in ways that make them less flexible and more prone to breakdown, ...

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a serious condition primarily triggered by prolonged mechanical loading rather than short-term excessive force. Cyclic force stimulation has been shown to enhance cellular ...

Managing thermal and mechanical stress in multi-die assemblies will require a detailed knowledge of how and where a device will be used, how it will be packaged, and where stresses could cause ...

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.
