The peeling apart of layered materials is common in nature and has been used by humans
in myriad applications since prehistoric times. Over the past century, a wide range of peel …

The issue of stress in thin films and functional coatings is a persistent problem in materials
science and technology that has congregated many efforts, both from experimental and …

Adhesion to wet and dynamic surfaces, including biological tissues, is important in many
fields but has proven to be extremely challenging. Existing adhesives are cytotoxic, adhere …

Fracture is one of the most commonly encountered failure modes of engineering materials
and structures. Prevention of cracking-induced failure is, therefore, a major concern in …

Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

An overlooked factor affecting stability: the residual stresses in perovskite films, which are
tensile and can exceed 50 MPa in magnitude, a value high enough to deform copper, is …

Bioelectronic implantable systems (BIS) targeting biomedical and clinical research should
combine long‐term performance and biointegration in vivo. Here, recent advances in novel …

Specifications for coating many forms of infrastructure and equipment include abrasive
cleaning, then measurement of the surface profile and adhesion on the assumption that they …

Abstract Development of numerical methods for hydraulic fracture simulation has
accelerated in the past two decades. Recent advances in hydraulic fracture modeling and …

Hydrogels have been developed since the 1960s for applications in personal care,
medicine, and engineering. Evidence has accumulated that hydrogels under prolonged …
