Human cells show deformation under the influence of external forces. But how do they recover their original shape afterwards? This mechanism, which is important in medicine and biology, has been ...

Inspired by how human bone and colorful coral reefs adjust mineral deposits in response to their surrounding environments, Johns Hopkins researchers have created a self-adapting material that can ...

A new mechanism that keeps a protein complex mechanically stable when stretched has been discovered by researchers in Germany, the US and Israel. The mechanism channels forces along paths ...
