More than a century before graphene was isolated in a modern lab, Thomas Edison may have been unknowingly making the wonder material inside his early light bulbs. New experiments suggest that the ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

When engineers discuss products that can make it through where steel thaws and glass evaporates, Silicon Carbide porcelains are usually at the top of the checklist. This is not an unknown lab ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...
