Materials Science and Engineering is the most important subject you have never heard of. It brings together aspects of physics, chemistry, design, maths and even art. It underpins pretty much all the ...

Nanoscale materials, or nanomaterials, are materials where at least one relevant length scale is within the range of nanometres. These materials usually have very different properties from their ...

The plastics industry is evaluating new circularity solutions for materials needed for packaging that may not have a viable alternative compared with other materials targeted for elimination or ...

The UMass researchers say they wanted to develop a way to cool fabric using an environmentally benign material. Inspired by traditional limestone-based plasters used to cool homes in hot climates ...

Just a few years ago, researchers discovered that changing the angle between two layers of graphene, an atom-thick sheet of carbon, also changed the material's electronic and optical properties.

Leaving aside meteorites that strike Earth’s surface and spacecraft that get flung out of its orbit, the quantity of materials available on this planet isn’t really changing all that much.
