Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.

Working memory and Learning in children: A mater of attention

Memorizing is crucial for human beings because it constitutes the fundamental step in acquiring knowledge. Among the different memory systems, the one called « working memory » works continuously to simultaneously memorize and process information. It is particularly important in children who are continually confronted to learning situations. It has long been considered that memorizing required ...

Integral of a rational funct

Most calculus textbooks present this topic as the method of partial fractions. They usually contain a bunch of apparently unrelated examples (sometimes not exhaustive) and do not focus on the purpose of this method. For this reason I have decided to write a few notes about “partial fractions” and I want to focus on what the method is good for and not on examples. Everything that follows is devo...
