Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a ...

Scientists have determined the structure of a new material with the potential to be used in solar energy, batteries, and splitting water to produce hydrogen. The physical properties and crystal ...

Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

Strain can be introduced to materials through various methods, including mechanical stretching, bending, compressing, or by epitaxial growth on substrates with different lattice constants. Advanced ...

ATK: Alliant Techsystems has delivered a technological first to NASA: a full-scale, crew module structure made of composite materials. The Composite Crew Module (CCM) is a unique capsule design that ...

A new elastic calcium phosphate material that closely resembles the structure of human bone has been successfully created by a research team from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the ...
