Materials are a necessity for all engineering applications. Materials science and engineering seeks to understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior in order to optimize properties ...

Here, we review this transition with regard to selected physical properties including size, shape, mechanical properties, surface texture and compartmentalization.

An introduction to electronic, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials and their use in engineering applications. Topics include descriptions of the constitutive behavior that describes ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a nanomaterial capable of simultaneously ...

Companies building next-generation products and breakthrough technologies are often limited by the physical constraints of ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, ...

A research team led by physicists Ming Yi and Emilia Morosan from Rice University has developed a new material with unique electronic properties that could enable more powerful and energy ...

Physical chemistry deals with the principles of physics involved in chemical interactions. It examines: How matter behaves on a molecular and atomic level; How chemical reactions occur; Physical ...

Architected materials – like this 3D lattice – get their properties not from what they are made out of, but from their structure. Ryan Lee, CC BY-ND. The new material is a type of architected ...

So-called surrogate models learn how properties of materials and experimental parameters relate to experimental results. AIM applies these techniques to materials engineering and manufacturing to ...

Everything is made of materials - Materials Science and Engineering is a cross-disciplinary subject focusing on how materials behave and how their structure controls their behaviour. Whether you are a ...
