In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful ...
The arrangement of electrons in matter, known as the electronic structure, plays a crucial role in fundamental but also applied research such as drug design and energy storage. However, the lack of a ...
A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials' mechanical strength, heat transfer, and ...
Ryan Lee has received funding from the Air Force Office of Science Research . The new material is a type of architected material, which gets its properties mainly from the geometry and specific traits ...
A team of Lehigh University researchers has successfully predicted abnormal grain growth in simulated polycrystalline materials for the first time—a development that could lead to the creation of ...
