Some solid materials have a memory of how they have previously been stretched out, which impacts how they respond to these kinds of deformations in the future. A new study lends insight into memory ...

Part 2 of the TED Radio Hour episode Repair, Repurpose, Reimagine. Materials scientist Andrew Dent takes us on a tour of the "materials library" where companies can find existing materials to reuse in ...

Voids, or empty spaces, are present in matter of all sizes, from the astronomical to the microscopic. In this study, three-dimensional nanoscale gaps were revealed using advanced mathematical and ...

Because the cutting process involves locally shearing or deforming the metal to extreme levels under high rates, the team hypothesized that it could provide fundamental information on the material's ...

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 ...

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, ...

An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...
