Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...
The ability of certain materials to switch between phase states with markedly different optical and electronic properties has fascinated the scientific community for decades. Non-volatile ...
Some foods and medicines, such as many COVID-19 vaccines, must be kept cold. As a step toward a robust, stable technique that could indicate when these products exceed safe limits, researchers report ...
Concrete and steel quietly shape the modern world, but they also lock in a heavy climate bill. Traditional cement alone is ...
Heating and cooling systems are among the biggest guzzlers of energy, contributing to a vicious cycle of climate change that then drives higher use of heating and cooling. Now engineers at Berkeley ...
Researchers at the University of Melbourne recently tested and approved a new low-carbon cement alternative designed by Australian materials company Green360. Developed from the waste byproduct of ...
Phase change materials (PCMs) represent a pivotal class of substances that store and release thermal energy through reversible transitions between solid and liquid states. Their ability to absorb or ...
A team of engineers in Australia has unveiled a game-changing building material that could drastically lower construction costs — and pollution — worldwide. Developed by researchers at RMIT University ...
AI could transform materials R&D. But how it does this, and how well it is adopted, is yet to be seen. Here, we take a look ...
