A NIMS research team has developed an automated high-throughput system capable of generating datasets from a single sample of a superalloy used in aircraft engines. The system successfully produced an experimental dataset containing several thousand records—each consisting of interconnected processing conditions, microstructural features and resulting yield strengths (referred to as "Process–Structure–Property datasets" below)—in just 13 days.

MIT engineers create a 3D-printable alloy five times stronger than standard aluminum, offering breakthroughs in aerospace and automotive industries.

Scientists have revealed how microscopic defects trigger catastrophic failure in perovskite solar cells. A research collaboration led by RASEI Fellow Mike McGehee at the University of Colorado Boulder,...

Strontium titanate’s remarkable ability to perform at extremely low temperatures makes it a key material for next-generation cryogenic devices used in quantum computing and space exploration. Superconductivity...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of 3D hybrid organic–inorganic materials made up of metal ions or clusters connected by organic ligands. Highly porous and crystalline, MOFs are known for t...

Rice University researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have discovered that light can trigger a physical shift in their atomic lattice, creating a tunable way to adjust the materials' behavior and properties.

Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston have...
