A research team led by scientists at Northwestern University has developed the first-ever two-dimensional mechanically ...

In what they're calling the "highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved," researchers created a super-strong flexible material that works very much like chainmail. The breakthrough has ...

Abstract: The forging of mechanical bonds has been mastered at both molecular and macroscopic size scales, but not yet on the mesoscale (1–1000 microns)—a size regime of great importance in colloid ...

The mechanical locking system in such molecules is so robust that they can only be disentangled via covalent bond cleavage. A recent study has presented a new strategy for controlling the ...

There have been demands for precise synthesis methods targeting only at the nanocarbon structure with desired property because their electronic and mechanical properties are greatly different ...

"It's similar to chainmail in that it cannot easily rip because each of the mechanical bonds has a bit of freedom to slide around. If you pull it, it can dissipate the applied force in multiple ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

J. Fraser Stoddart shared the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his design and creation of molecular machines through mechanical bonding. But his first priority these days isn’t research — it’s ...

(2) power; signal and power bonds to railroad rails and bonds on crane rails. You can make connections with mechanical lugs, crimp or compression lugs, or exothermically welded lugs. For good ...
