Steel reinforcement corrosion is a perennial problem for concrete as a construction material. Engineers are looking at novel ...

I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

A unique new material that shrinks when it is heated and expands when it is cooled could help enable the ultra-stable space ...

A hidden box-lattice suggests groundwater sculpted Mars long after surface water fled; Curiosity’s drills aim to confirm the ...

Objective Cluster science is a very important research field in computational chemistry, and the prediction of the lowest energy structure of B40 and B45 has always been a difficult problem. However, ...

Superconducting properties of two bismuthide intermetallic compounds, RbBi2 and CsBi2, were studied by means of experimental measurements and ab initio calculations. We show that in both compounds, ...

Lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are promising for fabricating deep-blue (<460 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), but their development is plagued by low electroluminescent performance and ...
