Technologies that underpin modern society, such as smartphones and automobiles, rely on a diverse range of functional ...

Some solid materials have a memory of how they have previously been stretched out, which impacts how they respond to these kinds of deformations in the future. A new study lends insight into memory ...

Because the cutting process involves locally shearing or deforming the metal to extreme levels under high rates, the team hypothesized that it could provide fundamental information on the material's ...

Material science, at its core, is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the discovery and design of new materials. It combines elements of physics, chemistry and engineering to understand and ...

For a long time, material development has focused on enhancing performance and reducing costs. Efforts have been directed toward making products lighter, tougher, better insulated, more beautiful, ...
