In medicolegal situations, the consequences of a stabbing incident are described in terms that are qualitative without being quantitative. Here, the mechanical variables involved in knife-tissue penetration events are used to determine the…
Recent experiments and simulations have demonstrated that particle-covered interfaces can exist in stable non-spherical shapes as a result of the steric jamming of the interfacially trapped particles, which confers the interface with…
The aim of this study was to describe the behaviour of a shock machine designed for testing hip prostheses. A microseparation between head and cup occurs inducing a shock of several times the body weight, leading to fracture of ceramic…
Electron irradiation-induced damage is often the limiting factor in imaging materials prone to ionization or electronic excitations due to inelastic electron scattering. Quantifying the related processes at the atomic scale has only become…
Osteolytic metastases located in the vertebrae reduce strength and enhance the risk of vertebral fractures. This risk can be predicted by means of validated finite element models, but their reproducibility needs to be assessed. For that…
The goal of this paper is to highlight several issues which are most crucial for the understanding of the ``metal-insulator transition'' in two dimensions. We discuss some common problems in interpreting experimental results on high…

Many 'interesting; correlated electron materials exhibit an unusual sensitivity of measured properties to external perturbations, and in particular to imperfections in the sample being measured. It is argued that in addition to its…
Metastases increase the risk of fracture when affecting the femur. Consequently, clinicians need to know if the patients femur can withstand the stress of daily activities. The current tools used in clinics are not sufficiently precise. A…
There is increasing recognition that oral health affects overall health and systemic diseases. Nonetheless it remains challenging to rapidly screen patient biopsies for signs of inflammation or the pathogens or foreign materials that elicit…
Wearable, implantable, and ingestible antennas are continuously evolving in biomedical applications, as they are crucial components in devices used for monitoring and controlling physiological parameters. This work presents an…
We study the exchange interaction and the subsequent collective behavior of magnetic impurities embedded in a disordered two-dimensional (2D) helical metal. The exchange coupling follows a statistical distribution whose moments are…
The process of anomalous transfer of interstitial atoms during impact deformation of the crystal surface is described theoretically. As shown that surface impact leads to the formation of a wave of inhomogeneous atomic displacements in the…
A promising approach to deform metallic-intermetallic composite materials is the application of electric current pulses during the deformation process to achieve a lower yield strength and enhanced elongation to fracture. This is known as…
The highly energetic electrons in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) can alter or even completely destroy the structure of samples before sufficient information can be obtained. This is especially problematic in the case of zeolites,…
