Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

Imagine a material cracking—now imagine what happens if there are small inclusions in the material. Do they create an ...

For years, researchers have known that carbon, when arranged in a certain way, can be very strong. Case in point: graphene. Graphene, which was heretofore, the strongest material known to man, is made ...

Chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel, as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities. Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical ...

Too often buildings end up as waste at the end of their lifecycle. How can the built environment move towards a circular economy, and in turn, reimagine how valuable materials are tracked and recycled ...
