(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Positionally-sensitive nanoindentation was carried out in the freshly-cleaved nacre found in the shell of the gastropod mollusk Trochus niloticus. Nacre is a hierarchical biocomposite composed of mineral tablets of 95 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Bamboo has long been used in vernacular construction because of its high strength, rapid growth rate, and global abundance. Bamboo is increasingly being used in contemporary architecture as a sustainable alternative to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Introduction: New materials are being developing each year that could revolutionize the world. However, while development of novel materials in the lab brings us one step closer to next latest-and-greatest innovation, the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The development of manufacturing tablets in a continuous way has been possible greatly to the fabrication of polymer based thin-films. It is estimated that the pharmaceutical industry loses as much as a 25% on revenues ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The mode by which a granular material can transition between fluid-like and solid-like states has been often referred to as jamming. The use of this property (via vacuum pressure) for engineering applications has only ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)An experimental study was performed to determine the best method for using a flow-focusing device to produce monodisperse water droplets in a polymer flow with sufficient spacing to polymerize a protective shell around the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Two classes of drugs, antiretrovirals and antibiotics, could benefit greatly from delivery through microneedles. Microneedles (MN) offer an increase in efficacy for these drugs by providing delivery to the lymphatic system ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Vanadium oxide thin film cathodes were analyzed to determine whether smaller average grain size and/or a narrower average grain size distribution affects the capacity-rate performance in lithium-ion batteries. Vanadium ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Microstructural and textural observations have been conducted on synthetic calcite with 20 wt% quartz deformed in simple shear using transmission electron microscopy and selected-area diffraction. The marbles were deformed ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Bamboo has received much interest recently as a construction material due to its strength, rapid growth, and abundance in developing nations such as China, India, and Brazil. The main obstacle to the widespread use of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Brick manufacturing requires a considerable amount of energy and land, but these numbers have been difficult to quantify in rural parts of the developing world. The environmental impact of unfired bricks in India is ...
-
Modeling the reaction mechanism of membrane penetration by striated amphiphitic gold nanoparticles (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The desire to desire targeted drug delivery devices capable of releasing therapeutic payloads within the cytosol of cells has led to research on nanoparticles as suitable drug carriers. Recently, it was shown that gold ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Metallic foams have a variety of unique mechanical properties that make them prime candidates for many different applications. Recent developments in manufacturing have allowed for the creation of nanoporous foams but still ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Technology today is directed towards building smaller devices. To accommodate this development, printing methods are needed. Some printing methods that are used include lithography, micro-contact printing, and inkjet ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Vascular grafts are prosthetic tubes that serve as artificial replacements for damaged blood vessels. Poly(ethylene-terephthalate), PET, has been successfully used in large diameter grafts; however, small caliber grafts ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The harmonic force balance method was used to model and simulate electric force microscopy (EFM) and electrostatically generated phase difference in tapping mode AFM (EPTA) measurements. Simulations show that the harmonic ...
