Quantum computers represent a next step in the fast-paced evolution of technology. Using quantum bits (qubits), they have the ...

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

When preparing to give the landscaping and outdoor areas around their homes a material upgrade, many people initially look at wood. A fence made from cedar or treated wood is a common sight throughout ...

August 8 brings profundity to the midsummer air, as the annual Lion’s Gate Portal encourages us to attain our dreams. The Lion’s Gate Portal is the celestial event that signifies the alignment of the ...

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 ...

When an atomic bomb detonates, it produces a unique chemical environment that’s nearly impossible to mimic in a lab—and amid its destruction, the explosion can create something completely new. A ...

Confidence at each gate multiplies, which means your worst gate sets your ceiling, and a single near-zero anywhere in the chain drags the whole result down with it. That dynamic leads to a simple rule ...

A new building material developed by engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute could change how the world builds. Made using an enzyme that turns carbon dioxide into solid minerals, the material ...

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 ...

Startups flush with cash are building AI-assisted laboratories to find materials far faster and more cheaply, but are still waiting for their ChatGPT moment. The microwave-size instrument at Lila ...

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 ...
