These virtual experiments are optimized for high school students, but anyone can learn the basics of materials science and engineering. They simulate basic materials experiments used by scientists and ...

The load applied to the wire (4.8 kg) is only about one tenth of the load required to get immediate plastic deformation. The experiment shows, however, that there is slow, continuous deformation ...

A team of scientists has unraveled how light and a previously unknown form of certain nickel-based catalysts together unlock and preserve reactivity. This research could potentially advance the use of ...

Still, their interest was piqued during an engineering seminar course when a material scientist froze a racquetball with ...

Their work, published today in npj Computational Materials, lays the foundation for "self-driving experiments," where an intelligent algorithm defines the parameters for the next set of ...

Learn all about testing materials and their properties with these interactive learning resources for KS2 Science students aged 7-11 from BBC Bitesize.

The Nation’s first reusable and returnable satellite, Shijian-19,was successfully retrieved and returned to Earth after conducting multiple space experiments in Low Earth Orbit. Among the ...
