New theory offers insights into the origin of the very low and negative thermal expansion observed in cordierite ...

Anisotropic materials play a critical role in today's manufacturing processes and other applications. Their unique ability to retain their shape under extreme thermal conditions has made these ...

McGill University researchers have expanded the capabilities of kirigami-inspired metamaterials to achieve anisotropic ...

Finding new angles on an old artform, McGill researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based ...

Cordierite, a remarkable mineral familiar to many as the material behind heat-resistant pizza stones, exhibits an unusual ...

One significant area of research has been the anisotropic behavior of materials during machining processes. For instance, a study on MgF2 single crystals demonstrated that the crystal orientation ...

Solar burst shortest time profiles, source sizes, and positions are determined mainly by propagation effects (mostly anisotropic scattering) and not by the intrinsic properties of the radio ...

Finding new angles on an old artform, McGill researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based ...

In a recent paper published in National Science Review, a scientific research team from China revealed a new structural ...
