Plasticity in cancer cells describes their inherent ability to undergo alterations and turn certain features on and off at different times. This flexibility sometimes occurs as a result of epigenetic ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists from the ...

How does skin hold you in? How do heart cells beat together? Researchers at UC Davis are exploring how structures called desmosomes, which stick cells together, function and react to mechanical stress ...

Electromagnetic, acoustic, and elastic waveguides are commonly used in communication, imaging, and signal isolation to facilitate efficient directional transmission of signals. However, static ...

Theory of elasticity: elastic stability, principal of minimum potential energy, Raylegh-Ritz methods. Introduction to finite element methods of stress analysis: computer implementation and use of ...

The benefits of 3D IC architectures are well-documented – smaller footprints, lower power, and increased performance. However, the move to heterogeneous 3D designs also introduces a host of new ...

A new material may be the key to quickly flag damaged infrastructure. This material offers a way to reduce the manpower required to regularly monitor structures that undergo daily use such as bridges.
