A team led by UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering has discovered materials that defy convention, shrinking when heated ...

A research group has developed an innovative machine learning technology that enables predictions beyond the distribution of ...

With the ability to stretch double its length and maintain performance, this toothpaste-textured battery could enable new ...

MXene, a nanomaterial used in battery technology and as a high-performance lubricant, was previously difficult and hazardous ...

Most metals used in everyday life are sensitive to temperature changes—metal doorknobs feel icy in winter and scalding in ...

MXenes are materials with almost miraculous properties: they can be used for electromagnetic shielding, for energy storage or for novel sensors. It was recently found that they are also amazingly ...

When materials are created on a nanometer scale -- just a handful of atoms thick -- even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples affect the ...

“This project is a great example of how federal investment in fundamental science drives American leadership in materials technology,” Harmer said. “Scientific discoveries such as this are ...
