MIT engineers have devised a new, noninvasive way to measure the stiffness of living cells using acoustic waves. Their technique allows them to monitor single cells over several generations and ...

What is Young's Modulus? Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material. It quantifies the relationship between stress ...

At the 90-nanometer node and below, a progression of low-k dielectric materials is being introduced for IC interconnects to achieve smaller wiring dimensions at higher circuit speed. Compared with ...

A revolutionary concept in low-frequency vibration isolation is utilized in Minus K ® vibration isolators.Vertical-motion isolation is supplied by a negative-stiffness mechanism (NSM) combined with a ...

Figure 1: Principle of magnetic torque tweezers and their operation. We anticipate that MTT can be generally applied to obtain information about the material properties of biological polymers and can ...
