While the concept of quantum computing has been discussed for more than 40 years, only recently have experiments indicated that a practical quantum computer may be possible. Recent developments in ...

"The smaller the crystals, the bigger the possibilities." So goes one of the mottos of Fadi Abdeljawad, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University. Abdeljawad ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

People have always looked for patterns to explain the universe and to predict the future. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” is an adage predicting the weather.

Materials informatics sits at the intersection of experimental science, computation, and data analytics. The aim is simple: use data and models to make discovering, designing, and deploying new ...
