The search for a technique that can measure local viscoelastic properties with nanoscale or molecular resolution on soft heterogeneous materials such as polymers has been challenging. Now, scientists ...

Lignin in the cell walls of woody tissue has a much lower crosslink density in tobacco wood than in tree wood. This causes tobacco wood to show very different viscoelastic behaviour. With the aid of ...

Nanorheology is a branch of rheology that focuses on investigating the flow and deformation properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves studying the viscoelastic behavior, such as viscosity ...

Download the latest edition "If we make stronger interactions, we can push their behavior more toward elastic properties. We now understand how this is encoded in the protein sequence," said Mittag.

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...
