Load‑bearing behaviors of sandwich plates with non‑uniformly distributed grid cores : Static compression and bending by Hao, Ning, Wang, Youlong, Song, Yiheng, Ruan, Sihan, Quanjin, Ma, Wang, Ziying

“…Under bending loading, most NUGPs experience local failure at the loading head, while the specific category surpassing GPs undergoes shear buckling in longer grid walls. (3) Deformation modes of the core layer, mechanical analysis, thin plate buckling theory, and equivalent bending stiffness calculations elucidate the load-bearing mechanisms of NUGPs. These findings enhance topology optimization research for sandwich plates, provide guidance for grid wall arrangements under different loading conditions, and offer insights for designing lightweight sandwich structures.…”

Microscopic dynamics underlying the stress relaxation of arrested soft materials by Song, Jake, Zhang, Qingteng, de Quesada, Felipe, Rizvi, Mehedi H., Tracy, Joseph B., Ilavsky, Jan, Narayanan, Suresh, Del Gado, Emanuela, Leheny, Robert L., Holten-Andersen, Niels, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…We also show that perturbing the system via small mechanical deformations can result in large intermittent fluctuations in the form of avalanches, which give rise to a broad non-Gaussian spectrum of relaxation modes at short times that is observed in stress relaxation measurements. These findings suggest that the linear viscoelastic stress relaxation in arrested soft materials may be governed by nonlinear phenomena involving an interplay of internal stress relaxations and perturbation-induced intermittent avalanches.…”

Chromatin laser imaging reveals abnormal nuclear changes for early cancer detection by Chen, Yu-Cheng, Chen, Qiushu, Tan, Xiaotain, Chen, Grace, Bergin, Ingrid, Muhammad Nadeem Aslam, Fan, Xudong

“…The low lasing threshold is, in fact, very similar to that of adenomas and is caused by abnormal cell proliferation and chromatin deregulation that can potentially lead to cancer. Our findings suggest that conventional detection methods, such as colonoscopy followed by histopathology, by itself, may be insufficient to reveal hidden or early tumors under development. …”

Singles' reasons for being single : empirical evidence from an evolutionary perspective by Apostolou, Menelaos, O, Jiaqing, Esposito, Gianluca

“…Younger people were more likely to indicate that they were single because they had poor flirting skills, because they did not see themselves as desirable mates, and because they did not like commitment; whereas older people were more likely to indicate that they were single in order to be free to do what they have wanted. Findings were examined and discussed using evolutionary theories relating to mate selection and evolutionary mismatch.…”

Design rationale for stimuli-responsive, semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels–a quantitative approach by Gupta, Nupur, Liang, Yen Nan, Lim, Jacob Song Kiat, Hu, Xiao
