In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful ...

Futuristic control of structure in some materials is being made possible by a physics loophole.

A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials' mechanical strength, heat transfer, and ...

The words on this page mean something because they are assembled in a particular order and follow the complex rules of grammar and syntax. Creating new chemical polymers follows a similar kind of ...

Crystals, bacterial colonies, flame fronts: the growth of surfaces was first described in the 1980s by the ...

The number of scientific papers is growing so rapidly that scientists are no longer able to keep track of all of them, even ...

So the waste problem in 3D printing is really a chemistry problem. Once these materials harden, they’re locked into their ...

The Kardar Parisi Zhang equation models surface growth. After forty years, researchers confirmed its two dimensional behavior using polaritons in engineered materials.

Researchers from Penn State University and University of Chemistry and Technology Prague propose using the 2D material ...

IBM and an international team of researchers have used a quantum computer to accurately simulate the electronic structure of a real molecule, a task that many scientists believed was still out of ...

Researchers developed a fireproof material from sawdust and mineral that can be used for internal partitions. Initial estimates show material could achieve the same fire protection class as ...
