Researchers have unveiled a remarkable new material with potential to impact the world of material science: amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC). Beyond its exceptional...
A team of researchers has built a prototype microscope that does not rely on backscattered radiation, instead uses passive detection of thermally excited...
A research team has developed a high-performance coating material that self-assembles from 2D nanosheets, and which could significantly extend the shelf life of...
Rubber-like materials can exhibit both spring-like and flow-like behaviors simultaneously, which contributes to their exceptional damping abilities. To understand the dynamic viscoelasticity of...
Sodium- and potassium-ion batteries are promising next-generation alternatives to the ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their energy density still lags behind that of...
Protein cages found in nature within microbes help weather its contents from the harsh intracellular environment -- an observation with many bioengineering applications....
Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material...
