It sounds like something out of science fiction. A material that gets hit, cracked, or bent — and comes out tougher for it.

Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy ...

Using artificial intelligence to create new things is all the rage right now. Whether you want text, computer code, or images, there are uncountable generative AI models that can oblige. Google ...

Crystal structure prediction (CSP) of organic molecules is a critical task, especially in pharmaceuticals and materials science. However, conventional methods are computationally intensive and ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

Inorganic crystal materials, for example, may show enormous promise once you first synthesize them, but all this potential could lead nowhere if the crystals don't remain stable; it's no good ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

Scientists have redefined the state-of-the-art in modeling and predicting the free energy of crystals. Their work shows that crystal form stability under real-world temperature and humidity conditions ...

Researchers engineered “gyromorphs,” a new type of metamaterial that combines liquid-like randomness with large-scale ...

In a significant advancement in thermal management materials, scientists have identified boron arsenide as a material that surpasses diamond in heat transfer capabilities. This discovery builds on ...
