Shear-thinning hydrogel
A shear-thinning hydrogel is a water-swollen polymer network that flows under shear stress and self-heals when the stress is removed, central to injectable biomaterials for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and 3D bioprinting.
Shear-thinning injectable hydrogels
Shear-thinning injectable hydrogels are water-swollen polymer networks that flow like a liquid through a syringe and then rapidly rebuild their structure, or self-heal, making them useful for drug delivery, cell therapy, and bioprinting.
Sheared-flow Z-pinch
The sheared-flow Z-pinch, also called a sheared-flow-stabilized or SFS Z-pinch, is a fusion confinement concept where pulsed current compresses plasma and sheared flow suppresses kink instabilities.
Shearing (metalworking)
Shearing is a metalworking process that cuts sheet metal with a punch and die or opposing blades, without producing chips, burning, or melting; clearance between the tools is the key parameter.
Shearing interferometer
A shearing interferometer is an optical instrument that produces interference between two displaced copies of the same wavefront, avoiding any high-precision reference optic and suiting compact testing of large surfaces.
Shearlet transform
The shearlet transform is a multiscale mathematical transform representing images with scaled, sheared, and translated wavelet-like functions, introduced in 2005 and used in denoising, compression, and tomography.
Shearling (band)
Shearling: Los Angeles experimental/noise rock band formed 2024 by ex-Sprain guitarists Alex Kent and Sylvie Simmons; debut single-track album on Mishap Records, 2025; EP and European tour followed.
Shearography
Shearography, also called speckle shearing interferometry, is a full-field laser optical technique that measures surface strain, used mainly for non-destructive testing of composites, tires, and aircraft structures.
Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant
The Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP) is a single-unit nuclear power station in New Hill, North Carolina, about 20 miles southwest of Raleigh, operated by Duke Energy Progress since 1987.
Shearwater Oil and Gas Field
Shearwater is a high-pressure, high-temperature gas and condensate field in the UK Central North Sea, east of Aberdeen, discovered in 1988 with first gas in 2000.
Sheath cell (sensu Nematoda)
Sheath cell (sensu Nematoda): glial cell of nematode sensilla that ensheaths sensory neuron dendritic tips, paired with a socket cell; exemplified by C. elegans AMsh glia, which secrete extracellular matrix and are required for sensory ending structure and function.
Sheath-run artificial muscles
Sheath-run artificial muscles (SRAMs) are fiber-type actuators in which a polymer sheath around a twisted core yarn drives actuation, introduced in 2019 at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Sheaths in dusty plasmas
Sheaths in dusty plasmas are thin charged layers around dust grains and walls where quasineutrality breaks down, controlling dust levitation in experiments such as PK-4 on the International Space Station.
Sheaths in plasma processing
Sheaths in plasma processing are thin boundary layers that form where plasma touches a reactor wall or wafer, accelerating ions to tens-of-eV energies that control etching and device yield.
