2) The results of two-node wireframe models are easy to interpret without any post-processing. This is because beams and columns are the building blocks of structural frames. When the same elements are used in the computational model, their shear, moment, and deflection envelopes can be ...
Unlike the many insects that power each wingstroke with one-to-one ‘synchronous’ neural activation of flight muscles at up to approximately 100 Hz (Fig.1a), some insect species require high power output at even higher frequencies. In these asynchronous species, the flight power muscles posse...
A simplified schematic of the device is shown in Fig. 1a. A superconducting loop, threaded by an external magnetic flux Φext, is interrupted on each arm by a section where the superconductor has been selectively removed. The Josephson junctions are formed in an InAs two-dimensional electron ga...
Two blocks A and B are connected to each other by a string and a spring, the string passes over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Block B slides over the horizontal top surface of a stationary block C and the block A slides along the vertical side of C, both with the sa...
In particular, depending on the type of ligands, hydrogenated, or halogenated derivatives of Xene can be large-gap QSH or trivial insulators with tunable gaps36,37. In this work, we extend the theoretical prediction and experimental applicability of the topological physics associated with SW class...
2,3 In contrast, organic 2-D materials are mainly fabricated by “soft solution process” in which the coupling to connect building blocks with each other is carried out under relatively mild conditions, such as in aqueous solution under ambient conditions. The mild conditions of soft solution ...
Two blocks of masses m and 2 m are placed one over the other as shown in figure.The coefficient of friction between m and 2m is mu and between 2m and ground i
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are an indispensable part of our daily life. After being studied for a few decades, this field still has some room for improvement. In this regard, perovskite materials may take the leading role. In recent years, LEDs have become a most explored topic, owing to...
Fig. 2: Secondarily synchronous hawkmoth flight muscle exhibits delayed stretch activation, a hallmark of asynchronous flight. a, Intact, downstroke flight muscle (DLMs) fromM. sexta(n = 9 independent moths from the same source colonies, each sampled a single time) was mounted on an ergome...
Research on surface plasmon resonance coupling of metallic nanostructures is an important area in the field of plasmonics because distinctive collective optical properties can be realized that are different from the individual constituents. Here we repor
