Pressure volume curves for Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. (alligator weed) grown in 0 to 400 millimolar NaCl were used to determine water potential (Ψ), osmotic potential ($\psi _{s}$), ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

To address the limitations of current materials, we developed void-forming hydrogels. Within these materials, cells are initially encapsulated into a nanoporous hydrogel milieu that subsequently form ...

This webinar investigates the advantages and usage of AFM on studying the mechanics of soft materials from Bruker. AFM methods to obtain absolute values of elastic modulus are described. This is ...

A research team has created a bulk copper-based alloy that, to date, has the greatest tensile elastic strain at room temperature. Metals are elastic, meaning they can return to their original shape ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...
