Researchers from Brown University and universities in China have found a simple technique that can strengthen steel without sacrificing ductility. The new…
Their composition from subunits can only be determined indirectly or with extreme time-effort. Scientists at the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials are…
Computational and experimental studies show that the superlattice structures, which are self-assembled from smaller clusters of silver nanoparticles and…
One of these materials is molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), which is part of a wider group of materials known as transition metal dichalcogenides, and has been put…
James Rondinelli, PhD, a professor in the College of Engineering, and Danilo Puggioni, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the College, have shed light on this…
Although the “programmable material” still only works in a one-dimensional model construction, it has already demonstrated it unusual capabilities: The…
Now, a team of researchers at the University of Delaware has discovered a “sticky” conductive material that may eliminate the need for binders.
The shells of a sea creature, the mollusk Placuna placenta, are not only exceptionally tough, but also clear enough to read through. Now, researchers at MIT…
Neutron scattering experiments at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, France have shown how a protein that promotes bone growth binds to this surface…
A relatively new type of solar cell based on a perovskite material – named for scientist Lev Perovski, who first discovered materials with this structure in…
Together with three companies the Institute for Aircraft Construction (IFB) at the University of Stuttgart researched the automated conversion of components…
Researchers found that when paper used to collect a sample was coated with carbon nanotubes, the voltage required was 1,000 times reduced, the signal was…
These “living materials” combine the advantages of live cells, which respond to their environment, produce complex biological molecules, and span multiple…
KIT researchers have developed microstructured lightweight construction materials of highest stability. Although their density is below that of water, their…
Scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have discovered a potential way to make graphene – a…
To increase the service life of aircraft engines, a heat-insulating surface layer is sprayed on top of the metal components. Thanks to this extra layer, the…
