The ultimate goal of materials scientists is to design and create materials with precise structures and tailored properties.
A bizarre "Rule of Four" has been identified in the basic structure of the majority of inorganic materials—and scientists are stumped as to why. The pattern is found in the so-called "unit cell" of ...
Ryan Lee has received funding from the Air Force Office of Science Research . The new material is a type of architected material, which gets its properties mainly from the geometry and specific traits ...
Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
When thinking about a home’s curb appeal, the driveway is often overlooked—which is a shame. Not only can different driveway options complement the home’s aesthetics, but some driveway materials are ...
Depending on the aesthetics of a space, the economy of the materials or even their long-term maintenance, there are various types of ceilings that are capable of meeting the technical and functional ...
