There is a near-infinite number of material candidates out there—and simply not enough time to hunker down in the lab and ...

A material thought to be a quantum spin liquid actually exhibits a newly identified magnetic state caused by competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. Materials that enter a quantum ...

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

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Scientists at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have created a magnetic “metasheet” that can move objects and liquids around without needing robot arms or grippers. The device is essentially a ...

Technologies enabled by quantum science will help researchers better understand the natural world and harness quantum phenomena to benefit society. They will transform health care, transportation, and ...

The scientists are now adapting the technology for use in the production of ceramic objects, by replacing the silica particles with ones made of materials such as titanium dioxide and zirconium ...

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow with minimal resistance and are essential for transmitting power and electrical signals in electronic devices. Most metals are good ...

The roots of material science in space began in the mid-20th century during the dawn of the space race. Image Credit: Indometeus/Wikimedia Commons To begin with, rockets, space shuttles, and ...
