This work shows that multi-DOF metamaterials are limited by their energy-driven deformation, restricting their mechanical behaviors. By using one-DOF mechanisms and inverse design, the team ...

In a step toward smarter materials, researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo collaborated with researchers from Switzerland to develop a smart hinge-like molecule that can indicate mechanical ...

Assessing Thermomechanical Fatigue of Electronics As electronic devices become more powerful and compact, managing heat and mechanical stress is critical to ensuring long-term reliability.
