Some solid materials have a memory of how they have previously been stretched out, which impacts how they respond to these kinds of deformations in the future. A new study lends insight into memory ...

Because the cutting process involves locally shearing or deforming the metal to extreme levels under high rates, the team hypothesized that it could provide fundamental information on the material's ...

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 ...

Part 2 of the TED Radio Hour episode Repair, Repurpose, Reimagine. Materials scientist Andrew Dent takes us on a tour of the "materials library" where companies can find existing materials to reuse in ...

Voids, or empty spaces, are present in matter of all sizes, from the astronomical to the microscopic. In this study, three-dimensional nanoscale gaps were revealed using advanced mathematical and ...

For a long time, material development has focused on enhancing performance and reducing costs. Efforts have been directed toward making products lighter, tougher, better insulated, more beautiful, ...

Everyday frustrations in science, from unstable jobs to opaque journals, might feel abstract to non-scientists, but they shape the medicines, technologies, and climate solutions everyone relies on. A ...

Simulate the processes required to develop specific materials microstructures and properties. Develop skills and competencies in computational modeling and simulation. Simulate microstructural ...
