Cut open a bone and you’ll see a subtly disordered structure. Tiny beams, called trabeculae, connect to one another in irregular patterns, distributing stress and lending bones an impressive toughness ...

New research from the University of Pennsylvania published in Nature Physics details the relationship between a disordered material’s individual particle arrangement and how it reacts to external ...

A new article proposes a simple and effective hybrid generative model that can predict unseen domain boundaries in synthesized materials with limited observations, without the need for expensive ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the discovery of materials, particularly for clean energy and sustainable chemical processes. Multicomponent crystals—solids made from several elements ...

Researchers have found that a two-dimensional carbon material is tougher than graphene and resists cracking—even the ...

New research details the relationship between particle structure and flow in disordered materials, insights that can be used to understand systems ranging from mudslides to biofilms. New research from ...
