That banana peel, turned into graphene, can help facilitate a massive reduction of the environmental impact of concrete and other building materials. While…
The discovery last year of the first nickel oxide material that shows clear signs of superconductivity set off a race by scientists around the world to find…
Researchers have developed a nondestructive and noninvasive optical technique that can determine the setting times for various types of cement paste, which is…
Superconductors allow electrical current to flow without any resistance – but only below a certain critical temperature. Many materials have to be cooled down…
Thermal insulation and thermal conduction play a crucial role in our everyday lives – from computer processors, where it is important to dissipate heat as…
Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an additive, powder-based production process for metals. This type of 3D printings allows for large construction parts and very…
A long-sought-after class of “superdiamond” carbon-based materials with tunable mechanical and electronic properties was predicted and synthesized by…
A study just published in Nature Communications shows high frequency sound waves can have a significant impact on the inner micro-structure of 3D printed…
Graphite is a material widely used in various industries — for example in heat shields for spacecraft — so accurate data on its behavior at ultrahigh…
Furthermore, this membrane was shown to be versatile; it was able to separate water from a wide variety of different oily substances.
A new study published in Science Advances found that certain types of materials have a “memory” of how they were processed, stored, and manipulated….
“Our team experimentally detected an exceptional surface, a continuous three-dimensional curving surface of exceptional points,” said Xufeng Zhang, who led…
Now a team of Brown University researchers has developed a way to measure the forces involved in this type of clustering. It's the first time, the researchers…
Since their discovery in 2009, topological insulators are a hot topic of material physics. The special thing about them is that they simultaneously act as both…
The FAU team led by the material scientist Prof. Marcus Halik from the Interdisciplinary Centre for Nanostructured Films (IZNF) and physicist Prof. Dirk Zahn…
Neutron scattering experiments at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory played a key role in determining the chemical and behavioral…
