Young’s modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a crucial material property that defines the stiffness of a ...

Because of the finite development of tactile feedback in surgical catheter of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), a convex tactile sensor composed of a force sensor, an indenter and some sensitive ...

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), a type of “artificial muscles”, can generate significant deformations and offer speedy responses when exposed to voltage. Owing to their high electromechanical ...

We redevelop a theoretical model that, in conjunction with atomic force microscopy (AFM), can be used as a noninvasive method for determination of the elastic modulus of a polymer nanodroplet residing ...
