Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading ...

A research team has demonstrated that thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) exhibit altermagnetism—the defining property of ...

Researchers have created a new class of materials called 'glassy gels' that are very hard and difficult to break despite containing more than 50% liquid. Coupled with the fact that glassy gels are ...

The new materials conduct ions equally well as liquids, liquid crystals, and solids, with no steep decrease in ion movement ...

"The smaller the crystals, the bigger the possibilities." So goes one of the mottos of Fadi Abdeljawad, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University. Abdeljawad ...

Materials scientists developed a fast, low-cost, scalable method to make covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a class of crystalline polymers whose tunable molecular structure, large surface area and ...

A number of advanced energy technologies—including fuel cells, electrolyzers, and an emerging class of low-power ...

Startups flush with cash are building AI-assisted laboratories to find materials far faster and more cheaply, but are still ...

Researchers have created a new class of materials called “glassy gels” that are as hard as glassy polymers, but – if you apply enough force – can stretch up to five times their original length, rather ...
