Diamond Growth Method Discovered at Lower Pressure and Temperature

These soft materials (chicken on the left and tomato on the right) permanently stick to hard surfaces just by passing electricity through them.

You don’t need glue to hold these materials together — just electricity

This research team developed an AI technique capable of accurately predicting the compositions of materials with desirable characteristics by switching prediction models depending on the sizes of the datasets available for analysis.
