Open AccessCharacterising the shear resistance of a unidirectional non-crimp glass fabric using modified picture frame and uniaxial bias extension test methods
The forming behaviour of a unidirectional non-crimp fabric (UD-NCF) consisting of polyamide stitches with a tricot-chain stitching pattern is explored. Notably, there are no stabilising tows orientated transve...

Open AccessInitiating and imaging the coherent surface dynamics of charge carriers in real space
The tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope is an atomic-scale source of electrons and holes. As the injected charge spreads out, it can induce adsorbed molecules to react. By comparing large-scale ‘before’ an...
