Bulk boron carbide has been widely used in ballistic armored vest and the property characterization has been heavily focused on mechanical properties. Even though boron carbides have also been projected as a promising class of high temperature the...
The bioartificial liver (BAL) advancing medical technology aims to provide temporary liver substitution for patients in dire need of liver transplants and also for drug development. Yet despite nearly fifty years of development, the approval for t...
One-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials, e.g., nanowires (NWs) have fascinating properties and applications in various fields including electronic and energy conversion devices. Despite tremendous progress in the NW research field, a thoroug...
About a decade ago, mechanical buckling evolves as a promising metrology to rapidly measure the elastic moduli of thin films and one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures. This form of metrology translates the geometrical measurements of the buckling pr...
