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

Researchers have pioneered a new technique called X-ray linear dichroic orientation tomography, which probes the orientation of a material's building blocks at the nanoscale in three-dimensions. First ...

Functional materials represent a diverse class of engineered substances that not only provide structural support but also actively respond to external stimuli by converting one form of energy into ...

The Functional Inorganic Materials Synthesis Laboratory, directed by Anne Stevens Assistant Professor Jill Wenderott, focuses on the realization of inorganic and hybrid materials for energy and ...

The traditional trial-and-error method in material research cannot meet the growing demand of various high performance materials, developing new effective paradigm of ...

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a ...

Unlike traditional databases or search engines that passively retrieve past results, AI-driven models actively learn from large datasets, simulate material behaviour, generate hypotheses and optimise ...

A research team has developed a high-performance coating material that self-assembles from 2D nanosheets, and which could significantly extend the shelf life of electronics, energy storage devices, ...
