Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a method that gradually adds and removes atoms in simulations, enabling realistic modeling of crystal defects that affect material strength.

"The smaller the crystals, the bigger the possibilities." So goes one of the mottos of Fadi Abdeljawad, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University. Abdeljawad ...

A Johns Hopkins University engineer has developed a specialized AI tool that could do for materials scientists what ChatGPT has done for coders and writers. The new system, called ChatGPT Materials ...

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 ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

People have always looked for patterns to explain the universe and to predict the future. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” is an adage predicting the weather.

Stratasys has filed a patent that targets a surprising bottleneck in PolyJet 3D printing: the need to run hot just to keep materials jettable.

Skoltech researchers have presented a new simple physical model for predicting the hardness of materials based on information about the shear modulus and equations of the state of crystal structures.
