Mechanical metamaterials are meticulously designed structures with exceptional
mechanical properties determined by their microstructures and constituent materials …

Nanoporous gold (NPG) is characterized by a bicontinuous network of nanometer-sized
metallic struts and interconnected pores formed spontaneously by oxidative dissolution of …

Understanding biological systems and mimicking their functions require electronic tools that
can interact with biological tissues with matched softness. These tools involve biointerfacing …

This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

Structural hierarchy can enhance the mechanical behavior of materials and systems. This is
exemplified by the fracture toughness of nacre or enamel in nature and by human-made …

A successful working model for nanoporosity evolution during dealloying was introduced 15
years ago. Since that time, the field has rapidly expanded, with research groups from across …

Motivated by recent experimental investigations of the mechanical behavior of nanoporous
metal we explore an efficient and robust method for generating 3D representative volume …

Understanding the role of elastic strain in modifying catalytic reaction rates is crucial for
catalyst design, but experimentally, this effect is often coupled with a ligand effect. To isolate …

Nanoporous (np) metals have generated much interest since they combine several
desirable material characteristics, such as high surface area, mechanical size effects, and …

We report results of the tensile properties of nanoporous gold (NPG) as a function of the
density and average ligament diameter. As-dealloyed tensile samples were thermally …
