Researchers have been developing computers that deploy light (photons) rather than electricity to power storage and ...

When scientists make the thin metal films used in electronics, optics, and quantum technologies, they usually spend months ...

Most people think of freezers as storage spaces for meat, ice cream, and frozen vegetables. While your freezer certainly ...

Liheng Cai’s lab aims to understand and control the interactions between adaptive soft materials and living systems to solve challenges in sustainability and health.

Strontium titanate’s remarkable ability to perform at extremely low temperatures makes it a key material for next-generation cryogenic devices used in quantum computing and space exploration. Supercon ...

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional understanding of material behavior and hinting at a mysterious “new duality” ...

The field of computational materials science has been profoundly transformed by integrating deep learning and other machine learning methodologies. These sophisticated data-driven approaches have ...
