The rapid development of portable electronics and electric vehicles requires lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to have high energy/power density, low cost, good safety, and long lifespan….
Last month, three MIT materials scientists and their colleagues published a paper describing a new artificial intelligence system that can pore through scientific papers and…
The worldwide quest by researchers to find better, more efficient materials for tomorrow’s solar panels is usually slow and painstaking. Researchers typically must produce lab…
Scientists from Ural Federal University (UrFU) together with their colleagues from Lomonosov Moscow State University found out the mathematical method to calculate the temperature at…
The thermodynamic properties of compounds such as aluminum oxide, which are known as refractory materials because they melt at temperatures above 2,000 degrees Celsius (3,632…
DNA molecules that follow specific instructions could offer more precise molecular control of synthetic chemical systems, a discovery that opens the door for engineers to…
Silicon — the shiny, brittle metal commonly used to make semiconductors — is an essential ingredient of modern-day electronics. But as electronic devices have become…
The strong collaborative ethos of the Graphene Flagship is accelerating developments in new technologies based on graphene – the single-atom-thick allotrope of carbon – and…
At the right ratio, a blend of water and cornstarch displays some mysterious qualities. It’s a liquid until you throw a bowling ball on it….
By shrinking samples of metallic glass to nanoscale size, Yale scientists have discovered they can create new materials with potentially new applications. The research, published…
Engineers from MIT have developed a 3D printing technique that uses a new kind of ink made from genetically programmed living cells. The cells are…
How a material breaks may be the most important property to consider when designing layered composites that mimic those found in nature. A method by…
“Two-dimensional materials” — materials deposited in layers that are only a few atoms thick — are promising for both high-performance electronics and flexible, transparent electronics…
Imagine a microscopic gold pill that could travel to a specific location in your body and deliver a drug just where it is needed. This…
Smartphones and computers wouldn’t be nearly as useful without room for lots of apps, music and videos. Devices tend to store that information in two…
The microscope is 1000 times more precise than current techniques, allowing the creation of wetting maps as a new concept for hydrophobic surface characterization. Wetting…
