Predicting material properties remains a major challenge in materials science, as it often requires complex and ...

Understanding how a crack grows in metal requires simultaneously calculating the behavior of hundreds of billions of atoms: At the crack tip, where atomic bonds break, and in the surrounding volume of ...

Which factors determine how quickly a battery can be charged? Microstructural models have helped researchers discover and investigate new electrode materials. When sodium-nickel-manganese oxide is ...

While the concept of quantum computing has been discussed for more than 40 years, only recently have experiments indicated that a practical quantum computer may be possible. Recent developments in ...

Material Appearance and Reflectance Modeling is an interdisciplinary field that melds principles from computer graphics, computer vision and optics to quantitatively describe how surfaces interact ...

Abstract: Elastomers and polymers such as silicone and Kapton have a wide range of applications across engineering disciplines, including structural components and thermal shields in space structures.

The arrangement of electrons in matter, known as the electronic structure, plays a crucial role in fundamental but also applied research such as drug design and energy storage. However, the lack of a ...

British biochemist Professor Frederick Sanger was awarded his second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1980. He is only the third person to win Nobel Prizes for science in the history of he awards and ...

Abstract: This presentation discusses computational modeling of complex materials behaviors under multi-physics conditions for Aerospace applications. We develop chemistry, physics, and ...

Before 3D printing, CNC routing, laser cutting and the tools of ubiquitous “making,” there was yarn and needle. For centuries, the earliest makers knitted things into being. Blankets, sweaters, gloves ...

Researchers from the Skoltech Petroleum Center presented new results that will improve the predictions of stress redistribution used in strength models of composite materials, which will result in ...
