Soft viscoelastic solids are flexible materials that can return to their original shape after being stretched. Due to the unique properties driving their deformation, these materials can sometimes ...

A new study from Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct ...

or the plasticity, of a material. Led by Izabela Szlufarska, a professor of materials science and engineering at UW–Madison, the researchers published details of their work in the journal Nature ...

Researchers have designed a flexible material that could pave the way for the development of adaptable space structures. In living things, structures are built from simple, repeatable patterns.

Researchers have identified a new material which could be used as a flexible semiconductor in ... its performance while maintaining exceptional plasticity remained largely unexplored until now." ...
