This article will go over some basic background about tensile strength of material and then discuss historic material strength improvement to understand what industrial production of new carbon ...

From the looks of the average driveway or sidewalk, it may seem as though concrete is just destined to crack. But if concrete is so prone to cracking, how are we able to use it in so many high-stress ...

What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...

A YouTuber built what appears to be a floating table using some basic engineering principles. The table exhibits how tensile strength is applied and has the ability to keep structures upright. James ...

New methods and materials are urgently needed. Researchers make breakthrough that could transform future buildings: 'Highest compressive strength' first appeared on The Cool Down.

For the opening race of the Eastern U.S. collegiate cycling season, Nick Frey, a junior at Princeton, had a brand-new bike. Frey, currently the under-23 national time-trial champion and a recent hire ...
