    GlossaryYoung's modulus (Elastic modulus)

    measures material stiffness by stress-to-strain ratio in elasticity

    Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a measure of the stiffness of a material. It quantifies how much a material will deform under a given amount of stress. Specifically, it is the ratio of tensile stress (force per unit area) to tensile strain (proportional deformation) in the linear elasticity region of the material. This property is crucial in fields like materials science and engineering, as it helps predict how materials will behave under different forces.

      community MSM [Methylsulfonylmethane] ??

      in Treatment  6 upvotes 1 year ago
      Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is not a treatment for male pattern baldness but can accelerate hair growth and thicken miniaturized hairs, with the side effect of increased hair growth all over the body. The user asks others to share their experiences with MSM.

      community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility

      in Research/Science  643 upvotes 5 months ago
      Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
