Sentence examples for material that responds from inspiring English sources

When working stone, a brittle material that responds to a sharp tool point by breaking into small chips, the sculptor strikes many light blows to remove material.

This is a major development in materials engineering, and exemplifies a material that responds to ambient temperature and changes its shape.

This perturbation could be achieved by coupling the system to a resonant cavity to create a new polaritonic potential surface, or to a material that responds mechanically or chemically to the reaction, such that a feedback loop amplifies the catalysis.

Given the growing availability of nanomaterials for cancer therapy, a material that responds to each patient's needs and, hence, reacts in a graded manner based on disease cues, would pave the way to precision materials for cancer therapy.

So her team used a series of polymer coatings to modify its properties, allowing them to bond a layer of zinc oxide nanowires to it, and then an overlay of a material that responds to light waves — either lead-sulfide quantum dots or a type of polymer called P3HT.

As an expansion of the concept of a second-skin, MIT's Tangible Media Group is experimenting with a more literal "bio-skin," a "living material" that responds to perspiration and body heat (Stinson 2015).

Victor G. Veselago, a Russian physicist, realized in the 1960s that if it were possible to find a material that responded in a contrarian way not just to electric fields and but also magnetic fields, a result would be a negative index of refraction.

Other light-manipulation techniques use special crystal materials that respond to high-intensity light to change the material properties of photonic devices.

But to store data, they rely on special materials that respond to magnetic or electric fields, which makes their production trickier.

Particular emphasis is placed on novel biomimetic materials that respond to environmental stimuli or release their cargo according to cellular demand.

And though others have worked on carbon composites that can respond to a specific stimulus such as heat, Cros says in the new approach, the carbon composites can be paired with a variety of shape-shifting materials that respond to different environmental triggers.
