Researchers have revisited a long-known material and uncovered a way to dramatically enhance its performance by altering its ...

Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

In the pursuit of materials with properties that don’t exist in nature, UC Santa Cruz researchers devised a new method for materials engineering that incorporates novel mathematical and deep learning ...

A research team developed a medium-entropy thermoelectric material that combines low heat flow with efficient electrical transport by leveraging hidden nanoscale structural features. Former PhD ...

Materials are a necessity for all engineering applications. Materials science and engineering seeks to understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior in order to optimize properties ...
