In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

An international team of scientists, including researchers from Loughborough University, has developed a method to dramatically speed up the discovery and design of advanced materials. The study, ...

Topological interlocking materials and structures represent an innovative design approach in which individual, often geometrically complex, elements are arranged to mutually constrain one another.

A comprehensive review of laser additive manufacturing (LAM) of metallic lattice structures demonstrates how advanced design strategies, processing control, and material innovations significantly ...

Dr. Inman received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University in mechanical engineering in 1980 and spent 14 years at the University of Buffalo, followed by 19 years at Virginia Tech. Since 1980, he has ...

Fungi are master engineers capable of building vast networks underground. Now, researchers have harnessed their capabilities to create a living building material that could be a sustainable ...

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

Rethink architectural lightness as a balance of efficiency, sustainability, and responsibility in the face of global ...

iSurface, a project led by Munro Technology, Z Prime, Axalp Technologies AG and researchers from Swiss university of applied sciences FHNW (Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz), unveiled a new intelligent ...

A 4D-printed structure pairs origami panels with a lattice core to fold flat for storage and bear heavy loads once deployed.
