LSU is partnering with the University of Delaware and Johns Hopkins University on a project that hopes to better understand how large and rapid mechanical forces deform the brain during accidents like ...

Lithium metal is considered as an ideal anode material due to its exceptionally high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. However, during repeated charging and discharging, lithium ...

Mechanics of materials is an area focusing on quantitative description of the motion and deformation of solid materials subjected to forces, temperature changes, electrical voltage or other external ...

University researchers have developed a new connective tissue model to study disorders like fibrosis, a type of scarring that occurs when damage to the body causes normal tissue to be replaced by hard ...

Think about the last time you tied your shoe: maybe you tied it tightly, or tied multiple knots to ensure the laces wouldn’t come undone. You likely relied on intuition to tell you how much tension to ...

Please can you give a brief introduction to your research on cell mechanics and cell function? My lab, broadly speaking, is interested in trying to understand interactions between cells and materials.

A cell's properties—the way it moves, its shape, its texture, and its stiffness—have an enormous impact on human development, the immune response, and the progression of cancer. But researchers ...
