The key characteristic here is enthalpy – the energy density that can be stored in and recovered from an element of the material. Peter Gumbsch, Professor for mechanics of materials at KIT’s Institute ...

An international research team coordinated at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) has developed mechanical metamaterials with a high elastic energy density. Highly twisted rods that deform ...

A team of international researchers has developed a groundbreaking class of mechanical metamaterials capable of storing and ...

An international team of scientists led by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a new type of mechanical metamaterial that can store and release large amounts of ...

Here, self-organization processes induced by the driving forces of nature, such as the decrease of free enthalpy of the system, are of great help — nature itself guides the way to these structures.

The values for bond enthalpies are found in the data book. For some bonds, the mean bond enthalpy is quoted. This is to give an average value to work from since the precise enthalpy value for a ...

A team of researchers from China and the US has introduced a new method to improve the performance of high-enthalpy elastic materials utilizing a technique called twist buckling. The new design could ...
