BUFFALO, N.Y. — Liquid droplets of protein and RNA have traits reminiscent of a childhood joy: Silly Putty. That’s according to a study by scientists at the University at Buffalo and Iowa State ...

What are the differences between nanoscale and bulk phases? What are the viscoelastic properties in an interphase or next to an interface? What is the impact of these properties on load transfer, as a ...

Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...

Quantitative characterization of nanomechanical properties has invariably been a holy grail for atomic force microscopy. This article explains some of the industry’s earlier attempts made at ...

Engineers find that cancer cells exhibit a unique mode of migration on squishy materials, which are similar to biological tissues. In contrast, cell movement - a process central to cancer metastasis ...

Viscoelastics, also referred to as ophthalmic viscosurgical devices, or OVDs, are viscous substances that allow us to make phacoemulsification easier and safer. Once the first incision is made into ...

Scientists have developed a new method that improves dispensing of viscoelastic fluids - a vital process for circuit board production, 3D printing and other industrial applications. The scientists ...

Researchers report nontoxic, biodegradable viscoelastic carrier fluids to enhance the retention of fire retardants on wildfire-prone vegetation through increased resistance to environmental exposure ...
