Researchers have created a foam-based material that produces intense whiteness and water repellency without titanium dioxide pigments or PFAS chemicals. Inspired by natural structures in snow, clouds, ...

Materials science explores the structure and properties of materials — semiconductors, metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and more — to understand and improve their performance. From smartphone ...

The University of Texas at Austin is launching a new materials science and engineering undergraduate degree program, building on the University’s leadership in engineering by preparing students for ...

A mysterious magnetic material once thought to host an exotic “quantum spin liquid” has turned out to be something entirely different—and possibly just as intriguing. Scientists studying cerium ...

The Materials Project is the most-cited resource for materials data and analysis tools in materials science. The Materials Project and its tools have been cited more than 32,000 times in peer-reviewed ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the workload that defines today’s semiconductor scaling. Whether in hyperscale data centers training foundation models or at the network edge executing ...

Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate—a NAND gate (short for "NOT AND")—in a soft material using only beams of ...

Since its invention, Kevlar has saved thousands of lives thanks to the synthetic polymer being both incredibly lightweight and incredibly strong. However, Kevlar is far from the last word on ballistic ...
