For materials scientists, understanding the atomic structure of a material, revealing defects, or characterizing the chemical and physical processes that occur during the creation of material, are key ...

The formation of materials in solutions is a widespread phenomenon in synthetic, biological and geochemical systems. In all of these environments, materials development proceeds through dynamic ...

Ceramic and metallic high-temperature materials present a fundamental area of research within energy technology and mobility. Usually, the overall efficiency of aircraft or power plant turbines is ...

The design of hypersonic flight vehicles is characterized by stringent requirements like achieving sharp leading edges to maximize lift-to-drag ratios while experiencing extreme external gas ...

From the last several lithography nodes, in the 14 to 10nm range, to the latest nodes, in the 7 to 5nm range, the requirements for patterning and image transfer materials have increased dramatically.

Materials that can withstand very high temperatures well over 2000 degrees (up to 3000 degrees celsius) can enable hypersonic vehicle, better rockets, better reentry vehicles and other space and ...

High-Temperature Materials Systems are of increasing importance. Join the Academies for a workshop on May 10-11, 2022 to discuss Emerging Applications and Materials and Science Gaps for ...

Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly popular. However, such energy can be wasted if an excess is available when it’s not yet needed. A particularly relevant example is solar power; solar ...

Researchers report that they have developed a new composite material designed to change behaviors depending on temperature in order to perform specific tasks. These materials are poised to be part of ...

Update September 28, 2022: The research paper that served as the basis for this article was retracted by Nature this week, following continued scepticism by scientists in the field. The authors stand ...
