Research shines light on ‘double-yielding’ behavior in soft materials

by quasarn01 | Oct 9, 2025 | Latest in Physics

For decades, scientists have observed, but been unable to explain, a phenomenon seen in some soft materials: When force is applied, these materials exhibit not one, but two spikes in energy dissipation, known as overshoots. Because overshoots are generally thought to...
