Understand tension forces through a fun superhero rope problem. This video uses a real-world–inspired scenario to explain how tension acts in a rope, how forces are distributed, and how Newton’s Laws ...

The cause of failure in engineering structures is routinely investigated via the detailed study of material fracture surfaces. This remains a key research area in material sciences, with researchers ...

Nagoya, Japan - Single-walled carbon nanotubes should theoretically be extremely strong, but it remains unclear why their experimental tensile strengths are lower and vary among nanotubes. A team at ...
