The University of Iowa has been awarded $1.5 million to advance materials science research by leveraging various materials’ ...

Finding the right materials for a project isn’t easy. You have to factor in a lot of considerations. Take, for instance, building a house. Not only do you need the materials of that house to be able ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, ...

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic ...

UF engineers, backed by DARPA and NASA, are perfecting laser-forming techniques that let metal sheets fold themselves into giant solar arrays, antennas, and even space-station parts right in ...

An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...
