Topological interlocking materials and structures represent an innovative design approach in which individual, often geometrically complex, elements are arranged to mutually constrain one another.

A team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has identified a rare, ...

Researchers have revisited a long-known material and uncovered a way to dramatically enhance its performance by altering its ...

Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

Fungi are master engineers capable of building vast networks underground. Now, researchers have harnessed their capabilities to create a living building material that could be a sustainable ...

Ryan Lee has received funding from the Air Force Office of Science Research . The new material is a type of architected material, which gets its properties mainly from the geometry and specific traits ...

Mono-material flexible film packaging structures based primarily on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or even polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are being promoted as an effective means of ...

Engineers developed a way to quickly test metamaterial architectures and their resilience to supersonic impacts. They plan to use it to identify new metamaterial designs that could form the basis for ...

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a new carbon-based material that can release captured carbon ...
