This video takes a look at composite materials, materials that are made up from two or more distinct materials. Composites ...

Multiscale experimental and computational approaches reveal how an ancient fish protects itself with an armour of scales consisting of four different reinforcing, graded nanocomposite layers.

Students will use what they know about the properties of paper, plastic, and aluminum foil to decide how the materials can be used for a specific purpose. Key Concepts. Materials with certain ...

Describe how processing conditions can be controlled to produce difference structures and, consequently, tune materials properties and performance. Select materials for various applications by ...

It´s a material world after all, and Sergey Faleev looks forward to more problems to solve. Unmet challenges include predicting such properties as optical spectra or the behavior of solids with ...

Polina Anikeeva, associate professor of materials science and engineering, normally takes what she calls an old-school approach to teaching 3.024 (Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Properties of ...

Testing materials can help identify their properties. To compare their properties, different materials need to be tested in the same way. NGSS Alignment. NGSS 2-PS1-1: Plan and conduct an ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming.

New research sheds light on how electric fields can be used to alter the thermal properties of ferroelectric materials, allowing engineers to manipulate the flow of heat through the materials.
