Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs ...

Electrically heated elements turn from solids to liquids to provide flexibility to robotic building blocks. We use cookies to ...

The scientists are now adapting the technology for use in the production of ceramic objects, by replacing the silica particles with ones made of materials such as titanium dioxide and zirconium ...

Scientists at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have created a magnetic “metasheet” that can move objects and liquids around without needing robot arms or grippers. The device is essentially a ...

McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape ...

Technologies enabled by quantum science will help researchers better understand the natural world and harness quantum phenomena to benefit society. They will transform health care, transportation, and ...

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow with minimal resistance and are essential for transmitting power and electrical signals in electronic devices. Most metals are good ...

From chairs built with mushroom mycelium and vegan leather sofas to fabrics originating from seaweed, unexpected materials have been slowly making inroads into our homes. With the industry under ...
