Many materials store information about what has happened to them in a sort of material memory, like wrinkles on a once crumpled piece of paper. Now, a team of physicists has uncovered how, under ...

Diffusion generation process for a stable crystalline material having a target band gap value (3 eV) using the MatterGen model. After a two-year postdoctoral stint at MIT’s Computer Science and ...

Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material, known as PAM ...

Materials innovation is one of the key drivers of major technological breakthroughs. The discovery of lithium cobalt oxide in the 1980s laid the groundwork for today’s lithium-ion battery technology.

Wifi is a radio signal, and when a radio signal passes through a solid material, it weakens—and certain materials have a bigger impact than others. Metal is a good electrical conductor ...

A new study examines ways that carbon could be used as a key ingredient in building materials—particularly biomass plastics and cement. Obstacles still remain, as some of these technologies are ...

But the scores are spot on. This cartoon is the Australian Open's free-to-watch version of the live action taking place at Melbourne Park. How has this come about? The Australian Open's official ...

But that magnetism can only occur in a system that lacks a specific symmetry—one that the team's new material should have had. "So the fact that we saw this was very puzzling. We didn't really ...

“I mean, it’s not really new anymore and it sure as hell isn’t happy, but you too, I guess.” ...

In 2024, superconductivity—the flow of electric current with zero resistance—was discovered in three distinct materials. Two instances stretch the textbook understanding of the phenomenon.

The National Assembly joint committee on Solid Minerals, on Friday, rejected the budget estimates of the Ministry of Solid Minerals. The committee said that the estimates presented were greatly ...
