Material response under localised loading: proposed alternatives to ballistic gelatine for wound ballistics research

Abstract In experimentation where replication of the human torso is required, ballistic gelatine has historically been the baseline material for the international research community. However, with many test standards requiring the provision of ballistic gelatine from a limited nu...

A Dynamic Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework With Giant OFF–ON Birefringence

ABSTRACT Birefringence, the optical property enabling materials to split light based on polarization and propagation direction, is crucial for many technological fields, spanning from telecommunications to imaging and photonics. Particularly, controlling the birefringence is vita...
