material science

Scientists at Hiroshima University developed new porous crystals that have no pores. But access to guests activates the latent pores, which encapsulate guests inside the activated pores.

Scientists Discover Material with ‘Invisible’ Holes That Appear on Command

In Ultrasonic Joining, wood and the base component are joined by frictional heat.

Innovative Techniques Could Revolutionize Wood Use in Cars

This flexible and conductive material has “adaptive durability,” meaning it gets stronger when hit.

Hitting this stretchy, electronic material makes it tougher

Octopus-inspired technology that can deceive and signal

Cocoa pods, like this one with parts of the husk removed for analyses, could be a useful starting material for flame retardants.

Cocoa pods — a source of chocolate, and potentially, flame retardants

Researchers have discovered Pines' demon, a collection of electrons in a metal that behaves like a massless wave.

The spider-inspired spinning method pioneered by researchers from the National University of Singapore produces soft fibres that are strong, stretchable and electrically conductive.

Spider-Inspired Soft Fibres Unleash New Potential for Wearable Technology

New glass cuts carbon footprint by nearly half and is 10x more damage resistant

When some ultrathin materials undergo a “nematic transition,” their atomic lattice structure stretches in ways that unlock superconductivity (as this conceptual image shows). MIT physicists have identified how this essential nematic switch occurs in one class of superconductors.

A new switch for superconducting

MIT engineers developed a metal-free, Jell-O-like material that is as soft and tough as biological tissue and can conduct electricity similarly to conventional metals. The new material, which is a type of high-performance conducting polymer hydrogel, may one day replace metals in the electrodes of medical devices. Credits:Image: Felice Frankel

Engineers develop a Jello-like, printable, metal-free electrode
