Innovations around the globe—and beyond—require better, stronger, lighter, more adaptable materials. From metals that can sustain the heat—and cold—of space travel to greener plastics that help ...

As materials age, they 'remember' prior stresses and external forces, which scientists and engineers can then use to create new materials with unique properties. A new study published in Science ...

After the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to two scientists in 2010 who had studied the material graphene, this substance has received a lot of attention. Scientists have now developed and analyzed ...

The field of seed technology is increasingly focused on unravelling the physical properties and engineering characteristics of agricultural seeds to inform the design and optimisation of harvesting, ...

All substances have properties. These describe how a substance looks and behaves. There are two types of properties: physical and chemical. Watch this video about how physical and chemical properties ...

Your second and third years have distinctive course requirements and electives. Here we can compare four related majors through select second and third year courses. MSE 2110 - Introduction to ...

This initially led to the development of two types of silicon nitride, reaction–bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) and hot pressed silicon nitride (HPSN). Subsequently, since the 1970s two further types ...
