Understanding how light travels through various materials is essential for many fields, from medical imaging to manufacturing. However, due to their structure, materials often show directional ...

In general, when you measure material properties such as optical permittivity, your measurement doesn’t depend on the direction in which you make it. However, recent research has shown that this is ...

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has emerged as a powerful numerical technique that overcomes several limitations inherent in traditional finite element and finite difference approaches. Its ability ...

Anisotropy in action: artistic visualization of a propagating heat wave getting weaker as it approaches the top of the layered material, while spreading out in other directions. (Courtesy: ...

The demand for cost-effective but increasingly greater computing power over the last fifty years has driven research and development into new materials and processes to meet the demand. Devices have ...

It is critical to always be aware of how material anisotropy might affect a design. A case in point is how anisotropy played a part in an individual getting injured when he tried to loosen the ...

The research team, led by A/Prof. Chen Li from the State Key Laboratory of Robotics and System (HIT), Harbin Institute of Technology, China, has shown the anisotropy dependence of the damage evolution ...

Planar Biaxial TestBench instrument from Bose is a soft tissue characterization equipment with superior performance and control. It is specifically designed for monitoring the non-linear stress-strain ...

It is shown that certain anisotropic elastic materials can have one or two sheets of spherical slowness surface. The waves associated with a spherical slowness sheet can be longitudinal, transverse or ...

Atomic-level simulations hint at how to control the magnetic properties of layered materials for data storage applications. Scientists have recently started to explore the possibility of using an ...
