The traditional trial-and-error method in material research cannot meet the growing demand of various high performance materials, developing new effective paradigm of ...

In terms of the length scale of structural features, material structure can be classified into macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic structures. And the microscopic structure of materials can be ...

Ever since their discovery, quasicrystals have garnered much attention due to their strange structure. Today, they remain far from being well-understood. In a new study, scientists reveal, for the ...

Researchers at MIT have found that natural materials like bones, shells, and sea sponges are as strong microscopically as they are to the touch. The construction industry can learn from this.

Researchers have constructed microscopic carbon structures that boast the best combination of strength and elasticity of any material studied to date (Nat. Nanotechnol. 2019, DOI: ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, including high-strength plastics and optical components. The final performance ...

Princeton researchers have developed a new tool to speed the discovery of advanced materials known as metal organic frameworks, or MOFs.MOFs are an ...

Foundations of Nano Materials Science So, what exactly is nano materials science all about? It’s basically looking ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...
