Scientists in China have investigated the fracture strength of commercial G12 monocrystalline wafers via the 4-point bending test and have found that wafer thickness, the position of the silicon wafer ...

Despite previous assumptions, taking vitamin D doesn't help children avoid fracturing their bones. Even if the child has a vitamin D deficiency, the supplements do not increase bone strength or ...

Neither study achieved its primary endpoint of reduction in annualized clinical fracture rate compared to placebo (Orbit) or bisphosphonates ...

When combined with measurements of bone mineral density at the femoral neck, sarcopenia is not an effective predictor of major osteoporotic fracture risk, according to findings presented at the ASBMR ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The occurrence of fractures in boys did not predict bone fragility of men in early adulthood, study data from ...

The mechanical properties of materials depend strongly on crystal structure and defect configuration. Here we measure the strength of suspended single-crystal and bicrystal graphene membranes prepared ...

The Super Steel project has made important breakthrough in its new super D&P steel (produced using a new deformed and partitioned method) to greatly enhance its fracture resistance while maintaining ...

Although high-strength (HS) steel is a potential material for next-generation automobiles, it has a mechanical performance drawback due to hydrogen embrittlement. Recent investigations on fractures ...

An avulsion fracture happens when a tendon or ligament pulls a small fragment of bone from the main bone. These fractures usually occur near joints, such as in the fingers, hips, feet, and ankles.

What Is an Avulsion Fracture? An avulsion fracture happens when a ligament or tendon pulls away a small piece of a bone. This usually results from an accident or traumatic injury. Avulsion fractures ...
