When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Atomic rearrangement changes a material’s physical and chemical properties, which may lead to potential applications across disciplines, including in sustainable energy. With two decades of focused ...

SPaDe-CSP first predicts most probable space groups and crystal densities using machine learning and then employs an efficient neural network potential for structure refinement. Prediction of crystal ...

After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing ...

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...

Removing excess iron reveals FeTe as a superconductor, and its properties can be engineered using layered structures and ...

Materials are a necessity for all engineering applications. Materials science and engineering seeks to understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior in order to optimize properties ...
