A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

Technologies that underpin modern society, such as smartphones and automobiles, rely on a diverse range of functional ...

New technology often calls for new materials – and with supercomputers and simulations, researchers don’t have to wade through inefficient guesswork to invent them from scratch. The Materials Project, ...

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 ...

We are entering a new era in science — the fourth paradigm, according to Kristin Persson, a professor in materials science at the University of California in Berkeley, United States. The first ...

Future generations of Yale quantum scientists, engineers, and physicists likely won’t know the details of the monumental effort underway today to reshape the upper slope of Science Hill on campus. But ...

IMPRESS is a multi-million-euro materials science project co-funded by the European Union and the European Space Agency (ESA). It brings together 150 materials scientists from across Europe and Russia ...

At Northwestern University, our first-of-its-kind materials science department collaborates extensively with our leading mechanical engineering department, resulting in a strong history of ...

Since its establishment as the world’s first materials science academic department, Northwestern Engineering has led and defined the frontier of material research, enabling transformative technologies ...
