Defects can make a material stronger or make it fail catastrophically. Knowing how fast they travel can help researchers understand things like earthquake ruptures, structural fail

A new study from Stanford University reveals the neurological mechanism behind the perception of skin tightness.

Will Chueh, an associate prof. of MSE at Stanford University, is the 2023 winner of the David A. Shirley award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement at the Advanced Light Source.

It lets researchers extract pixel-by-pixel information from nanoscale X-ray movies of electrode particles absorbing and releasing lithium ions.

Artificial intelligence helped identify a promising new material for better batteries in a research journey that began seven years ago.

Scientists gathered to discuss the future of synthetic biology and how it can help curb climate change and promote sustainability.

A low-cost, recyclable powder can kill waterborne bacteria when exposed to sunlight – an advance that could help 2 billion people worldwide without access to safe drinking water.

A single, multilayer, soft, and stretchable material with integrated nerve-like electronics can sense pressure, temperature, strain, and more, just like real skin.

In the race for fast-charging, energy-dense lithium metal batteries, researchers discovered why the promising solid electrolyte version has not performed as hoped.

A polymer-based electrolyte makes for batteries that keep working – and don’t catch fire – when heated to over 140 degrees F.
