Graphene, a “wonder material” that could help solve some of humanity’s deepest problems, has cleared a major hurdle towards practical uses. Graphene is the world’s thinnest, super-strong and ...

Researchers have expanded the potential of carbon capture technology that plucks CO2 directly from the air by demonstrating that there are multiple suitable and abundant materials that can facilitate ...

Existing electroactive materials are hard, rigid, and often made from non-sustainable, toxic substances, making them impractical for use in soft, flexible electronics, wearable technology, and ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have, for the first time, created borophane — atomically thin boron that is stable at standard temperatures and air pressures. Researchers have long been excited ...

Every year, thousands of new materials are created, yet many never reach their full potential because their applications aren't immediately obvious—a challenge University of Toronto researchers aim to ...

Academic and industrial research scientists and engineers, as well as students working in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), commonly encounter a steep learning curve when developing common MEMS ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Innovative research and practical applications in road engineering and infrastructure development came under sharp focus during the technical session of the 84th Annual Session of the Indian Roads ...
