Investigating ways to create high-performance steel, a research team used theoretical calculations on 120 combinations of 12 alloy elements, such as aluminum and titanium, with carbon and nitrogen, ...

Perovskite PV technology has made another small step forward, with the discovery of a new combination between perovskite and glycol, granting better control over the formation of the thin-film layer, ...

Building prediction models for high entropy alloys (HEAs) using material data is challenging, as datasets are often lacking or heavily biased. Now, researchers have developed a new evidence-based ...

Spectroscopy analyzes light to identify a celestial object's composition. Each element absorbs light at unique wavelengths, creating a spectral "fingerprint". The amount of light absorbed indicates ...

The first time that materials scientist Brian Cantor took a stab at mixing a lot of different elements together was in 1980. Then a lecturer at the University of Sussex, Cantor wondered why ...
