Why do glass and other amorphous materials deform more easily in some regions than in others? A research team from the University of Osaka, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and ...

Researchers report how highly crystalline samples of transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 and WS2 can be grown. These ultra-thin and mechanically flexible materials are important for the ...

Previously, only amorphous polymer materials approached such levels of performance. On the other hand, these “gigantic respiration” and their respiration, which takes place at constant overall shape, ...
