‘Metallic Wood’ Has Strength of Titanium, Density of Water
A cross-institutional research team has designed a unique porous structure they call “metallic wood” because of its high strength-to-weight ratio.
Researchers are constantly seeking materials...
Quantum simulation reveals mobility edge in a low-dimensional disordered landscape
A recent flood of research scholarship on electronic transport in low-dimensional (2D or 1D) materials like graphene or carbon nanotubes reflect the tremendous potential...
Study reveals how polymers relax after stressful processing
The polymers that make up synthetic materials need time to de-stress after processing, researchers said. A new study has found that entangled, long-chain polymers...
