Researchers at the Department of Materials Engineering (MatE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and collaborators have developed a new lightweight cast aluminum alloy that is both exceptionally strong and remarkably ductile, overcoming one of the biggest challenges in the stru

New research is shedding light on longstanding debates over the behavior of ferroelectric materials when those materials are exposed to electric fields. The findings stem from the use of a novel technique that allows researchers to observe the real-time behavior of domain walls i

A surface electrene, BaSiN2:O, developed by researchers at Science Tokyo enables efficient ammonia synthesis under mild conditions while overcoming the long-standing air instability of electrene materials. Synthesized by doping barium silicon nitride with oxygen, the material for

The resistance of materials to mechanical loads is a decisive factor in component safety, such as in aircraft. Working as part of an international team, researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have found a previously unknown damage mechanism in metals: Contam

Researchers at City College of New York physicist Vinod M. Menon's Laboratory for Nano and Micro Photonics (LaNMP) have outlined an emerging frontier in quantum materials: atomically thin systems in which light, magnetism and electric charge are strongly intertwined. This rapidly

As computer chips become more powerful and compact, the materials that protect them must perform better than ever. In advanced chip packaging, liquid epoxy is widely used because it can flow into tiny spaces before curing into a solid protective layer. To be effective, the materi

A research team led by Seil Kim of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) Energy & Environmental Materials Research Division has developed an Ag–PTFE composite plating technology that produces silver coatings with greater hardness and wear resistance than conventional si

Scientists have unveiled a new fabrication technique for the ultra-clean manufacturing of 2D heterostructures—materials just a few atoms thick—that could be used in quantum technology and electronics. Experts from Southampton and Singapore say the method could be used to develop

Cutting back on our use of energy and materials so that we live within Earth’s means can seem like an insurmountable challenge. But after a decade grappling with these problems, a historic Portuguese city is beginning to walk this tightrope

As interest in clean hydrogen power grows, so does the need for safe storage and transportation materials. One such material, vanadium, is a leading candidate because it readily absorbs hydrogen and allows it to move through its crystal structure. However, hydrogen displays varyi

Pesquisadores da Universidade de Nankai, na China, desenvolveram um "ouvido biônico" que promete criar uma ligação direta entre um sistema artificial e o sistema nervoso para combater a perda auditiva neurossensorial. O dispositivo, apresentado na revista científica Nature Materials, funciona como uma interface neuromórfica capaz de reproduzir funções do nervo auditivo. Ao detectar sons, interpreta antes de enviá-los ao c&eacu

Pesquisadores britânicos desenvolveram um curativo feito com polímeros de origem vegetal capaz de entregar antibióticos diretamente no local da lesão, impedindo infecções antes que se instalem.
