Mechanical testing at small length scales has traditionally been resource‐intensive due to
difficulties with meticulous sample preparation, exacting load alignments, and precision …

In materials science, experimental datasets are commonly used to estimate various statistics
of random variables. This paper focuses on a specific random variable: the rupture stretch of …

Some high-throughput experiments aim to test many samples simultaneously under
nominally the same conditions. However, whether a particular high-throughput experiment …

Biological species can walk, swim, fly, jump, and climb with fast response speeds and
motion complexity. These remarkable functions are accomplished by means of soft actuation …

The fatigue properties of soft materials, including fatigue crack initiation and propagation,
fatigue life and threshold, have been a significant concern in the past few decades …

Democratized mechanical testing offers a promising solution for enabling the widespread
adoption of recycled and renewably sourced feedstocks. Locally sourced, sustainable …

Democratized mechanical testing offers a promising solution for decarbonization by
