Auxetic nanomaterials: Recent progress and future development

Recent progress in boron nanomaterials

Various types of zero, one, and two-dimensional boron nanomaterials such as nanoclusters, nanowires, nanotubes, nanobelts, nanoribbons, nanosheets, and monolayer crystalline sheets named borophene have been experimentally synthesized and identified in the last 20 years. Owing to their low dimensionality, boron nanomaterials have different bonding configurations from those of three-dimensional b...

A perspective on auxetic nanomaterials

Nanomaterials have recently been found to exhibit auxetic behavior, or a negative Poisson's ratio, whereby the lateral dimensions of the material expand, rather than shrink, in response to applied tensile loading. In this brief review, we use the form of question-answer to highlight key points and outstanding issues related to the field of auxetic nanomaterials.

Recent Progress and Future Directions

We review the foundations of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, discuss recent progress in the tests of relativistic gravity, and present motivations for new generation of high-accuracy gravitational experiments. We discuss the advances in our understanding of fundamental physics anticipated in the near future and evaluate discovery potential of the recently proposed gravitational experim...

Evolution, recent progress and future development of optical coherence tomography.

The first description of Optic Coherence Tomography (OCT) was published in Science in November 1991.1 From the beginning, OCT revolutionized ophthalmological diagnostics and nowadays has become an essential tool for clinical decision-making and follow-up, both in retinal diseases and glaucoma. In addition, the use of anterior pole OCT is becoming widespread. The first tomographs to be used in c...
