Phys.org / Random deformation lets glassy materials store precise mechanical memories, simulations reveal

Amorphous materials such as glass are solids whose internal structure lacks a repeating pattern. Their molecules are arranged in a random and irregular way. Surprisingly, these disordered materials can "remember" past mechanical ...

Phys.org / A heat sensor for living cells could offer new views of cell metabolism, rapid antibiotic testing

When living cells grow, divide or respond to drugs, they give off tiny amounts of heat that offer information about what the cells are doing. But because these heat signals are so vanishingly small, they have traditionally ...
