A crucial number that rules the universe goes big in a strange quantum material. The fine-structure constant is about 10 times its normal value in a type of material called quantum spin ice, ...

Researchers from Skoltech Engineering Center's Hierarchically Structured Materials Laboratory have developed a new method to ...

The traditional trial-and-error method in material research cannot meet the growing demand of various high performance materials, developing new effective paradigm of ...

Control and measurement of reactions, amorphous states and/or crystallization rates is vital for chemical, pharmaceutical and electronics industries. Unambiguous and clear determination of material ...

Materials are a necessity for all engineering applications. Materials science and engineering seeks to understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior in order to optimize properties ...

Materials scientists at Rice University (TX, USA) and collaborators have developed a material that uses light to break down a ...

Raman technology has been deployed as a molecular fingerprint for the analysis of molecular structures, for predicting the chemical concentrations in mixtures and for identifying specific molecules.

A spongy new super-material could be lighter than the flimsiest plastic yet 10 times stronger than steel. The new super-material is made up of flecks of graphene squished and fused together into a ...

CS/Ti3C2Tx/Co@CNTs composite could obtain the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -55.01 dB at the thickness of 3.4 mm and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) could reach 9.07 GHz. It should be ...
