Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas ...

To supply arid regions with water, Islamoglu is working on porous materials that can draw moisture out of low-humidity air much as a sponge would. The approach is material-agnostic, so the MDRI ...

In diverse materials such as aluminum or stainless steel, these facades have different control technologies, such as mechanical-based, electromechanical-based, information-based, or material-based.

In the new study, the researchers mimicked these natural materials by designing microstructures with holes of different sizes, shapes and orientations.

Nanocomposites can be fabricated not only with different nanostructured materials but also with various biomolecules and conducting polymers. For instance, researchers combined two different materials ...

To aid architects and designers in the process, here we provide a step-by-step guide with nine general tips to follow when specifying materials, exemplified by a series of projects, diagrams and ...
