The crystal structure of these atomically thin materials makes them extremely sensitive to mechanical strain – tiny stretches or compressions of the atomic lattice. In principle, this strain ...

This article discusses strain gauge technology and gives practical applications in medical device and equipment manufacturing. It explains the typical processes by which cusotm strain gauge technology ...

(Nanowerk News) What’s the best way to precisely manipulate a material’s properties to the desired state? It may be straining the material’s atomic arrangement, according to a team led by researchers ...

The levels of mechanicalstrain most typically measured with strain gauges are very small and precise.Consequently, changes in resistance are also very small and thus cannot bemeasured directly with an ...

"Atomic spray painting” of potassium niobate, a material commonly used in advanced electronics onto a substrate, could enable the tuning of properties of the resulting thin film, according to a new ...
