Hyosung, The Lycra Company and Yulex are pouring millions into bio-based elastane made from sugarcane, corn and rubber—and ...

Maintaining adhesion on rough surfaces is a long-standing challenge in engineering due to the adhesion paradox (rapid decrease in adhesion strength with increasing surface roughness despite adhesive ...

Sport. As in “sports coupes cum sports cars.” Granted, that’s an elastic category, but regardless of their differences, all have a little race car baked in. More than a little, usually. They also ...

Physicists have studied the aggregation of adhesive proteins, giving a central role to the elastic properties of membranes, whereas cell biologists have put the emphasis on the cytoskeleton. However, ...
