From creating lightweight yet durable prosthetics to designing new types of solar panels and batteries, materials engineers combine their expertise in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to ...

Materials research generates vast amounts of data, but the information often exists in manufacturer-specific formats and the terminology is inconsistent, making it difficult to aggregate, compare, and ...

We are entering a new era in science — the fourth paradigm, according to Kristin Persson, a professor in materials science at the University of California in Berkeley, United States. The first ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

Material science, at its core, is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the discovery and design of new materials. It combines elements of physics, chemistry and engineering to understand and ...

Your second and third years have distinctive course requirements and electives. Here we can compare four related majors through select second and third year courses. MSE 2110 - Introduction to ...

The Materials Science Laboratory is primarily used by the Mechanical Engineering students to support relevant courses and research activities. The Material Science laboratory consists of equipment ...

Researchers have found an efficient way to identify 'topological' materials, whose surfaces can have different electrical or functional properties than their interiors. The approach should make it ...

When you need tools or parts for something you’re working on around the house, you head to the nearest hardware store. Space travelers don’t have that luxury and may have to make their own tools and ...
