Complexity may seem subjective, but a quantitative measure of the complexity of nanomaterials was recently developed by a ...
Scientists may soon stop hunting for new materials—and start designing them to order. For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have demonstrated that megalibraries—tools that ...
A new type of material can learn and improve its ability to deal with unexpected forces thanks to a unique lattice structure with connections of variable stiffness, as described in a new paper by my ...
In response to numerous inquiries from academia, industry, and other government labs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a new database on the properties of ...
Advanced optical materials are crucial in the development of many everyday appliances that enhance our lives. These materials have the unique ability to manipulate light in various ways, allowing us ...
Materials have different properties that make them better for some jobs than others. When objects are designed and made it is important to think carefully about the materials that are used. This is to ...
One is ESD, electrostatic discharge. This is the effect that occurs when static electricity builds up on a surface and is ...
Choosing the right material during prototyping can make or break a product’s success. Many product teams lose valuable time ...
