Now researchers at Stanford University have shown that another biophysical characteristic known as viscoelasticity - think of how stretching a ball of Silly Putty or a clump of bread dough is met ...

A research paper by scientists at the Hebei University of Technology and Shenzhen University developed an on-chip viscoelasticity sensor for biological fluids. The new research paper, published on ...

They become elastic when they are stretched or compressed. The dual characteristic is named viscoelasticity. Take slime for example, the cross-linked polymeric mixture made out of polyvinyl alcohol ...

Results of the study are detailed in the paper "Effect of viscoelasticity on the collective behavior of swimming microorganisms," recently published by the journal Physical Review E. Underhill's ...

Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...

Then, Adrianne Rosales of the University of Texas at Austin, will underscore the significance of viscoelasticity – a phenomenon embodying both solid and liquid properties. She will also elucidate the ...

Fundamental aspects of polymer rheology, including the theory of linear viscoelasticity, measurement of fundamental flow properties, constitutive equations, the kinetic- molecular theories of ...
