Exciting electronic characteristics emerge when scientists stack 2D materials on top of each other and give the top layer a ...

McGill University engineers have developed ultra-thin materials that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, ...

Australian researchers have created what may be one of the most thermally stable materials ever discovered. This new zero thermal expansion (ZTE) material made of scandium, aluminum, tungsten and ...

A new building material developed by engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute could change how the world builds. Made using an enzyme that turns carbon dioxide into solid minerals, the material ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

Manuel Vonau was Android Police's Google Editor until April 2024, with expertise in Android, Chrome, Pixels, and other Google products. For five years, he covered tech news and reviewed devices after ...

Scientists may have found a material "more remarkable" than graphene that presents a wealth of medical potential. Borophene is thinner, more conductive, lighter and stronger than graphene. Scientists ...

For years, researchers have known that carbon, when arranged in a certain way, can be very strong. Case in point: graphene. Graphene, which was heretofore, the strongest material known to man, is made ...

A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...
