Hi all,
Just wanted to share that the first issue of Matter was released last week. Matter is a new materials science journal from Cell Press. Our goal is to be a high impact offering, on par with Nature Materials. Check out our first issue here:
I attach a Letter I sent to the Editor of a tribology journal, concerning adhesion of rough surfaces.
I contend that some "criteria" that have been proposed based on extrapolation of numerical results are due to the limitations in present numerical sophisticated rough contact simulations, which only span at most 3 orders of magnitude of wavelengths, so typically people simulate from nanometer to micrometer scale.
Hello,
More detailed results on the void growth in single and dual phase titanium alloys.

Thanks,

A recent study reviews achievements made in the determination of the size‐dependent mechanical properties of nanowires. Covering both measurement techniques and computational approaches, data reported in the literature are summarized for a variety of nanowires.
In this work, we present concepts that allow controlled introduction of buckling and twisting deformations to the mechanically guided assembly of 3D mesostructures.
