Young's modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of the materials when force or compression is applied. Young's modulus relates to the elasticity of the material, which is ...

Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

In this video, we explore how Young's Modulus is related to the interatomic spring constant. Learn how materials deform under stress and how the microscopic forces between atoms affect the overall ...

Crystals made from mucic acid are the stiffest organic crystals reported to date. 1 They owe their rigidity to a dense web of hydrogen bonding between their molecules, giving them mechanical ...
