Penn State scientists discovered seven new ceramics by simply removing oxygen—opening a path to materials once beyond reach. Sometimes, less truly is more. By removing oxygen during the synthesis ...

A research team has developed soft composite systems with highly programmable, asymmetric mechanical responses. By ...

Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State created ...

The international three-day event, Advancing Materials Science: Bridging Chemistry and Engineering for a Sustainable Future, is a pioneering conference jointly hosted by the Royal Society of Chemistry ...

Nature offers a clue. Across every scale, stability comes not from chance but from structure. Cells rely on four molecular ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated ...

3D printed hierarchically structured elastomeric foams via vat photopolymerization face challenges in supercritical fluid foaming due to excessive crosslinking density. Here, the authors show a ...

Bioinspired materials are synthetic materials whose structure, properties or function mimic those of natural materials or living matter. Examples of bioinspired materials are light-harvesting photonic ...

Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms ...
