(Nanowerk Spotlight) The materials we interact with every day—whether they are steel, glass, or rubber—have properties like strength, flexibility, or brittleness that stem from their chemical ...

Mono-material flexible film packaging structures based primarily on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or even polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are being promoted as an effective means of ...

A long-standing mystery in materials science is beginning to unravel as researchers directly probe the hidden atomic complexity of relaxor ferroelectrics.

Complexity may seem subjective, but a quantitative measure of the complexity of nanomaterials was recently developed by a ...

Fungi are master engineers capable of building vast networks underground. Now, researchers have harnessed their capabilities to create a living building material that could be a sustainable ...

Halide perovskites absorb and emit light better than almost any other known solar material — thin enough to coat a phone, ...

Engineers developed a way to quickly test metamaterial architectures and their resilience to supersonic impacts. They plan to use it to identify new metamaterial designs that could form the basis for ...

Researchers from the University of Bath's Department of Mechanical Engineering have shown that agricultural waste from ...
