Multi-stable morphing structures have the characteristic of being stable at more than two configurations without the need for locking by actuators. In addition, such structures have special energy ...

In disaster-prone areas, damaged infrastructure requires impromptu communications leveraging lightweight and adaptive antennas. Accordingly, we introduce a bi-stable deployable quadrifilar helix ...

Boron nitride (BN) is a versatile material with applications in a variety of engineering and scientific fields. This is largely due to an interesting property of BN called "polymorphism," ...

Being the first element to form, hydrogen holds clues about the distribution of matter in our universe. Normally a gas, hydrogen exists as a solid under ultra-high-pressure conditions commonly found ...

Despite the huge technological interest in boron nitride (BN), understanding the relative stability of its different structural phases remains a challenge owing to conflicting results from experiments ...
