Materials scientists can now use insight from a very common mineral and well-established earthquake and avalanche statistics to quantify how hostile environmental interactions may impact the ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

A recent study in Nature Communications explored nanoporous amorphous carbon nanopillars, produced using an innovative method that combines self-assembled polymeric carbon precursors with nanoimprint ...
