DOI: 10.1016/j.actamat.2020.09.006
Abstract: Abstract Magnesium (Mg) is the lightest structural metal. However, the poor formability of Mg alloys to great extent limits their applications in making structural parts. Formability is strongly correlated to both high tensile elongation and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2410833121
Abstract: Significance When insects flap their wings, they typically create a vortex on top of the wings which helps to keep them aloft. When bats flap their wings, the wings deform much more than insect wings.… read more here.
