Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

The DOE's Argonne National Laboratory has launched its Activated Materials Lab to study radiation effects in nuclear reactor ...

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme ...

A Washington-based laboratory has taken a major step that can help boost production of ...

Researchers developed a method that gradually adds and removes atoms in simulations, enabling realistic modeling of crystal defects that affect material strength.

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

From hypersonic aircraft to nuclear-powered submarines, many of today’s most advanced defense systems rely on a special class ...

The FBI has reportedly joined the search for a missing retired Air Force general who held a number of sensitive positions from his time serving the country. The post Search Intensifies for Retired Air ...

The Southern California teenager whose home laboratory sparked a nearly week-long investigation from the FBI last week is speaking out, stating that he's just a "kid who's interested in science." ...

Neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and depression, have emerged as major global health challenges, affecting hundreds of millions ...

A South West-based third-generation family business has built the UK's first pilot-scale end-to-end manufacturing process for Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs). The Defence Science ...
