MP Materials has chosen Northlake, Texas, for its new $1.25 billion rare earth magnet manufacturing campus. The facility, dubbed "10X," will use rare earth raw materials that have been sourced and ...

The era has arrived in which artificial intelligence (AI) autonomously imagines and predicts the structures and properties of new materials. Today, AI functions as a researcher's "second brain," ...

This "materials map" allows researchers to easily spot look-alike, potentially high-performing materials. This can accelerate innovation, reduce development costs, and speed up the real-world ...

From chairs built with mushroom mycelium and vegan leather sofas to fabrics originating from seaweed, unexpected materials have been slowly making inroads into our homes. With the industry under ...

Apple and miner MP Materials are joining forces in a $500 million deal to develop a rare earth magnets recycling facility. The agreement is part of Apple's $500 billion pledge to onshore production.

Fungi are considered a promising source of biodegradable materials. Researchers have developed a new material based on a fungal mycelium and its own extracellular matrix. This gives the biomaterial ...

Abstract: Control of objects using remotely generated magnetic fields has established itself as a viable option for 3-D position control, though the objects being manipulated to date have largely been ...

Fungi and bacteria could one day be part of a living building material that is able to grow and repair itself. One of the great challenges facing the world as we attempt to reduce waste and greenhouse ...

From the bronze age to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, the discovery and development of new materials has been a driving force in human history. These novel materials have helped advance ...
