Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

The state of a glassy material can be altered considerably through the application of stress. The origins of this effect, and its relation to molecular mobility, are not well understood. Recent ...

To demonstrate that negative thermal expansion alloys can enable ultra-stable structures, the ALLVAR team developed a hexapod structure to separate two mirrors made of a commercially available glass ...

Scientists Improve Americium Extraction with Radiation-Resistant Materials Scientists use resin-filled columns to recover the isotope americium-241 (Am-241) from plutonium waste for commercial use.

Atoms slip against one another, eventually sticking in various combinations. Tectonic plates do the same, sliding across each ...

A unique new material that shrinks when it is heated and expands when it is cooled could help enable the ultra-stable space telescopes ...

Our previous study observed a non-monotonic time-dependent deformation from the long-term isothermal tensile creep tests, indicating the significant influence of physical aging on viscoelastic ...

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the understanding and application of the properties of matter. Materials scientists study the connections between the underlying ...
