Elasticity is ubiquitous in everyday life, but the molecular origin of the restoring force remains elusive. The authors investigate how interaction energies change as a result of the bending of molecular crystals. @JackKClegg nature.com/articles/s41563-0…

Crystals can’t bend – or can they? New research sheds light on elusive ‘flexible crystals’

Crystals are supposed to be hard and brittle. But when we make them bendy, they help reveal the secrets of how elastic materials work.
