Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering ...
Cut open a bone and you'll see a subtly disordered structure. Tiny beams, called trabeculae, connect to one another in ...
MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns arise from microscopic dislocations that guide atoms into preferred ...
A bizarre "Rule of Four" has been identified in the basic structure of the majority of inorganic materials—and scientists are stumped as to why. The pattern is found in the so-called "unit cell" of ...
The University of Iowa has been awarded $1.5 million to advance materials science research by leveraging various materials’ ...
New research sheds light on how a certain kind of pattern in nature arises. Nature is full of patterns. Among them are tiling patterns, which mimic what you'd see on a tiled bathroom floor, ...
