In exploring how crystals form, researchers at New York University came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before.

Juan Casado Cordón, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Malaga, considers graphene—an infinite layer of carbon atoms—as one of the greatest discoveries of the last 20 years due to ...

Nature Communications - Carbynes are bulk linear chains of carbon atoms that can be stabilized inside carbon nanotubes. Here the authors show that while electronic states of tube and chain are...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidate materials for applications that would benefit from precise chemical patterning, such as desalination, but many MOFs suffer from poor stability in water. In addition to water stability, high water uptake…

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a machine learning framework that can predict with quantum-level accuracy how materials respond ...

Researchers have created a new ultra-strong carbon called MAC, eight times stronger than graphene, opening the door to durable technologies.

A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan.

Nature - A new group of multi-principal-element alloys, designed through machine learning and extreme microstructural heterogeneities, achieve high strength (1.8-GPa yield strength) and ductility...

Nature Machine Intelligence - Large language models (LLMs) can be useful tools for science, but they often lack expert understanding of complex domains that they were not trained on. Zhang and...

Nature Materials - Materials design and informatics have become increasingly prominent over the past several decades. Using the Materials Project as an example, this Perspective discusses how...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors report a machine-learning-based high-throughput prediction framework to identify materials with strong extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photoresponse and...

Nature Communications - The true potential of graphene pores has remained unclear due to limited mechanistic studies on oxidation-created pores. Using molecular simulations, authors show dynamic...

Magnetic materials are in high demand. They're essential to the energy storage innovations on which electrification depends and to the robotics systems powering automation. They're also inside more familiar ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the difference? Researchers are finding out.
