In the effort to capture more energy from the wind, the blades of wind turbines have become bigger and bigger to the point where the diameter of the rotors can be over 100 m (328 ft). Although larger ...

This article delves into the fundamentals, advantages, and uses of fiber-reinforced thermoplastics during a period of heightened interest in reinforcement agents. The reinforcement of plastics is ...

Some natural organisms, such as bone and coral reefs, have an incredible ability to adjust to varying amounts of stress, drawing on nearby minerals for structural reinforcements as the need arises.

Inspired by the mineralisation of bone, researchers have developed a self-reinforcing material that changes stiffness in response to an applied force. Materials with adaptable properties, like those ...
