Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and ...

Workflow behind the MPT model. In this approach, the model learns from various material properties simultaneously in an initial training phase, followed by fine-tuning on the target property data.

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The materials we interact with every day—whether they are steel, glass, or rubber—have properties like strength, flexibility, or brittleness that stem from their chemical ...

Conventional clustering techniques often focus on basic features like crystal structure and elemental composition, neglecting target properties such as band gaps and dielectric constants. A new study ...

Dielectrics are materials that store energy when an external electric field stimulates the material. A common explanation for a dielectric is a material that will store additional charge when placed ...

Technologies that underpin modern society, such as smartphones and automobiles, rely on a diverse range of functional materials. Materials scientists are therefore working to develop and improve new ...

Scientists have harnessed a unique property called incipient ferroelectricity to create a new type of computer memory that could revolutionize how electronic devices work, such as using much less ...
