Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

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, ...

Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...

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 ...

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 ...

An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...

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 ...

Material science, at its core, is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the discovery and design of new materials. It combines elements of physics, chemistry and engineering to understand and ...
