Abstract In 1903, Alexander Graham Bell developed a design principle to generate
lightweight, mechanically robust lattice structures based on triangular cells; this has since …

Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete
understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has …

Diamonds have substantial hardness and durability, but attempting to deform diamonds
usually results in brittle fracture. We demonstrate ultralarge, fully reversible elastic …

Pristine graphene is the strongest material ever measured. However, large-area graphene
films produced by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are polycrystalline and thus …

Achieving high elasticity for silicon (Si) nanowires, one of the most important and versatile
building blocks in nanoelectronics, would enable their application in flexible electronics and …

Substrate-exploring functions of filopodia were previously suggested based on cell studies
on flat surfaces, but their role in topography sensing especially within nanofibrillar …

Recent developments in soft functional materials have created opportunities for building
bioelectronic devices with tissue‐like mechanical properties. Their integration with the …

The primary challenge to exploit the nanowire as a truly one‐dimensional building block in
nanoscale devices is the clear incorporation of scale effects into the operational …
