13. Ductility
    In materials science, ductility is a solid material`s ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material`s ability to be stretched into a wire. Malleability, a similar property, is a material`s ability to deform under compressive stress; this is often characterized by the material`s ability to form a thin sheet...
