Cuttlefish, a unique group of marine mollusks, produces an internal biomineralized shell,
known as cuttlebone, which is an ultra-lightweight cellular structure (porosity,∼ 93 vol%) …

Innovations in fluid mechanics have been leading to better food since ancient history, while
creativity in cooking has inspired fundamental breakthroughs in science. This review …

dimensional (2D) nanosheets such as graphene, graphene oxide, boron nitride or transition
metal dichalcogenides can be produced on a large scale by exfoliation techniques. The …

We combine discrete differential geometry (DDG)-based models and desktop experiments to
study supercritical pitchfork bifurcation of a pre-compressed elastic plate under lateral end …

Ferromagnetic bulk metallic glasses (FBMGs) possess excellent soft magnetic properties,
good corrosion resistance, and high strength. Unfortunately, their commercial utility is limited …

We investigate experimentally the quenching of a liquid pancake, obtained through the
impact of a water drop on a cold solid substrate (0° C to-60° C). We show that, below a …

Snap** of a slender structure is utilized in a wide range of natural and manmade systems,
mostly to achieve rapid movement without relying on musclelike elements. Although several …

Some mechanisms of shape selection and fragmentation patterns of impacted or strongly
solicited elastic bodies of simple geometry are reviewed. By strongly solicited we mean …

Rats use their whiskers to extract a wealth of information about their immediate environment,
such as the shape, position or texture of an object. The information is conveyed to …

A previously proposed two‐terminal carbon‐nanotube‐based device with closed‐loop
feedback is demonstrated through in situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experiments …
