Here is how it works.
At temperatures above about 1/3 to 1/2 the melt temperature (in degrees absolute), solid state diffusion in metals is kinetically enabled. Metal atoms in their crystalline lattice networks start hopping between adjacent positions and if some positions are under more compressive stresses than others, there will be a net migration of ...

I have a couple of thoughts on this question, and though I admit they are speculations, I hope they are educated ones!
Paper is an interesting material. As to what exactly paper is, Wikipedia tells us that:
Paper is a thin sheet material produced by mechanically and/or chemically processing cellulose fibres derived from wood, rags, grasses or other ...

It says that mechanical strain is zero. The author considers mechanical strain and thermal strain separately. The mechanical one is zero if there is no external force. He never say that the thermal strain, due to thermal expansion, is zero.
Edit
According to the article:
Thermal strain is due to the change in temperature of the bar.
Mechanical strain is ...

Thermal strain is strain that develops when a material is heated or cooled. So the strain should not be zero.
In addition to the site you provided, thermal strain for a non-constrained object is not zero as long as the coefficient of thermal expansion is not zero, per the following:

No, wings are designed to carry the maximum load with a minimum of weight. This results in their being flexible; to make them perfectly rigid would dramatically increase their weight and thereby reduce the payload of the aircraft.
Aerodynamic flutter resulting from wing or control surface flexibility is then managed in a way consistent with minimizing the ...

One of the advantages of the sintering process is avoiding macro segregations. The common foundry process can result in differences in chemical compositions between core and shell for example, due to differences in the rate of cooling along the solidification. It is particularly critical for high alloyed materials.
In the sintering process, the components ...

Sound can't travel through vacuum. Why? Because sound is caused by vibrations in physical existence. Sound on its own doesn't have physical existence, it is caused by something that has physical existence. That is why sound can't propagate through vacuum.
Dry paper has more vibrations and wet paper has negligible vibrations and that is why dry paper makes ...

Finding "how it works" pages turns out to be rather difficult indeed. Here is one explanation from a college physics dept Q&A page.
"Surface-to-surface adhesion" is just a fancy name for things sticking
together, so it doesn't tell you much beyond what you were asking. The
main mechanism is probably vanderWaals forces between the ...

Most magnetic materials in reality have some amount of magneto-crystalline anisotropy. This arises from spin-orbit coupling. This magneto-crystalline anisotropy dictates the 'easy', 'intermediate' and 'hard' axes in a magnet - For example, if your material has an 'easy' axis in-plane, this means that the lowest energy state is for a configuration in which ...

The equal number of free electrons and holes is a general property of intrinsic semiconductors. It does not matter whether kind of material you consider.
However, the same volumetric density does not imply the same electron/hole current. They might have different mobilities according to each particular material.
