A new study shows how to couple highly accurate and simplified models of the same system to extract thermodynamics information using simulations. Computer simulations are used to understand the ...

The chemical and physical properties of some solid materials render them prone to restricted flow and flow stoppages when ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

A new software tool can accelerate materials science research by cutting out tedious background research on material properties. Researchers recently debuted propSym, an open-source software on the ...

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is an analytical characterization technique that is used to study the physical properties of a range of materials in different temperature environments. One example ...

In recent months, I’ve mentioned super-solids a couple of times, which is a bit unusual for something we haven’t been sure actually exists. However, a recent paper seems to offer some quite strong ...

Computer simulations are used to understand the properties of soft matter--such as liquids, polymers and biomolecules like DNA -which are too complicated to be described by equations. They are often ...

A new software tool can accelerate materials science research by cutting out tedious background research on material properties. Penn State and Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently ...
