Unlike their isotropic counterparts, which have uniform properties in all directions, anisotropic nanoparticles exhibit shape-dependent characteristics that give rise to unique optical, electronic, ...

Finding new angles on an old artform, McGill researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based ...

McGill University researchers have expanded the capabilities of kirigami-inspired metamaterials to achieve anisotropic ...

Coarse-grained models are computational models that mimic the behaviour of a complex system by breaking it down into simpler sub-components. The extent to which the system is broken down reflects ...

Anisotropic materials play a critical role in today's manufacturing processes and other applications. Their unique ability to retain their shape under extreme thermal conditions has made these ...

The MATLAB-based Dispersion Calculator (DC) is an interactive software for the calculation of dispersion curves and mode shapes of guided waves in plane, isotropic and multilayer, anisotropic ...

They are typically characterized by their unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties that arise from their anisotropic shape and quantum confinement effects. Nanorods have garnered ...
