This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure. Discovering new materials with customizable and optimized properties, driven either by ...

Material science, at its core, is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the discovery and design of new materials. It combines elements of physics, chemistry and engineering to understand and ...

Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an important technique for this, as it reveals detailed insights ...

A team of researchers has successfully predicted abnormal grain growth in simulated polycrystalline materials for the first time -- a development that could lead to the creation of stronger, more ...

Jason Rivas is researching materials at the atomic level to improve reliability and resistance of electronics to space radiation. A PhD student in materials science and engineering at the University ...

Tungsten's superior performance in extreme environments makes it a leading candidate for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in fusion reactors, but the ultra-high heat can damage its microscopic ...

A ripple tells you something happened, but not exactly what. That is the core problem behind a hard class of equations that ...

Machine-learning molecular simulations show pristine graphene is intrinsically hydrophobic and that water trapped beneath the ...

The exploration of Haeckelites gained momentum following the experimental synthesis of beryllium oxide (BeO) in this configuration. This achievement sparked interest in the potential of other elements ...

Kristofer Reyes and Olga Wodo, both associate professors in the Department of Materials Design and Innovation, have received a combined $830,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), ...
