From creating lightweight yet durable prosthetics to designing new types of solar panels and batteries, materials engineers combine their expertise in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

Materials are a necessity for all engineering applications. Materials science and engineering seeks to understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior in order to optimize properties ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section is an overview of the materials-science microgravity research program implemented by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ...

Researchers have found an efficient way to identify 'topological' materials, whose surfaces can have different electrical or functional properties than their interiors. The approach should make it ...

We are entering a new era in science — the fourth paradigm, according to Kristin Persson, a professor in materials science at the University of California in Berkeley, United States. The first ...

When you need tools or parts for something you’re working on around the house, you head to the nearest hardware store. Space travelers don’t have that luxury and may have to make their own tools and ...

A recent experiment detailed in the journal Nature is challenging our picture of how electrons behave in quantum materials. Using stacked layers of a material called tungsten ditelluride, researchers ...

The graduate program in materials science and engineering from Drexel Engineering deepens skillsets and knowledge to enhance your academic qualifications and skills to advance careers in this ...
