Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered a way to make all-solid-state batteries safer and more powerful using inexpensive materials. Instead of adding costly metals, they redesigned the battery’s ...

In a leap forward for materials science, a multi-institutional team of researchers has developed a pioneering method of 3D printing cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs), enabling complex, ...

AI could transform materials R&D. But how it does this, and how well it is adopted, is yet to be seen. Here, we take a look ...

Inspired by the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish, Stanford researchers have developed a soft material that can rapidly shift its surface texture and color at extremely fine ...

Dr. Michael Ponting is Chief Scientific Officer at Peak Nano, a leading innovator in advanced capacitor films, specialty films, and optics. "One word: plastics." That single line from The Graduate ...

Overview: AI is transforming materials science by dramatically reducing the time needed to discover and test new ...

Octopuses have the incredible ability to quickly change and adapt their skin to camouflage themselves in their surroundings - an ability researchers have been working to adapt to synthetic materials.

For a long time, material development has focused on enhancing performance and reducing costs. Efforts have been directed toward making products lighter, tougher, better insulated, more beautiful, ...
