Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

An artificial intelligence created by Google DeepMind may help revolutionise materials science, providing new ways to make better batteries, solar panels, computer chips and many more vital ...

Rice University scientists and collaborators have created a new type of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor that comes closer ...

Researchers have revisited a long-known material and uncovered a way to dramatically enhance its performance by altering its ...

Crystals and glasses have opposite heat-conduction properties, which play a pivotal role in a variety of technologies. These range from the miniaturization and efficiency of electronic devices to ...
