University of Toronto researchers create biochar from wood as strong as mild steel, redefining sustainable materials.

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design never-before-seen nanomaterials with the strength of carbon steel and the lightness of styrofoam. The new nanomaterials, made using machine ...

A team at RMIT University has created a cement-free construction material using only cardboard, soil, and water. Strong enough for low-rise buildings, it reduces emissions, costs, and waste compared ...

Scientists at Rice University and the University of Houston have created a powerful new material by guiding bacteria to grow cellulose in aligned patterns, resulting in sheets with the strength of ...

Researchers have developed eco-friendly bricks and tiles from agricultural waste, reducing costs and carbon emissions while ...

Few scientific fields display more breadth and depth than nuclear materials—a topic that deals with almost everything that touches on nuclear reactions. Scientists coming from many diverse disciplines ...
