Abstract: Quasi-one-dimensional microtubules (MTs) in cells enjoy high axial rigidity but large transverse flexibility due to the inter-protofilament (PF) sliding. This study aims to explore the structure–property relation for MTs and examine the relevance of the… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Flexural wave propagation in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be described through higher-order elasticity theories so as to capture the dispersive behavior induced by the inherent nanoscale heterogeneity. Motivated by experimental dispersion characteristics of metal… read more here.
