Mechanical Behavior & Structural Materials

With a new suite of tools, scientists discovered exactly how tiny plate-like catalyst particles carry out a key step in that conversion – the evolution of oxygen in an electrocatal

These fleeting disruptions, seen for the first time in lead hybrid perovskites, may help explain why these materials are exceptionally good at turning sunlight into electrical curr

High-speed manufacturing could spur the commercialization of these energy-efficient, cost-effective alternatives to the silicon solar panels that are widely used today.

The display would feature brighter images with purer colors and more than 10,000 pixels per inch.

A new device enables researchers to observe hundreds of neurons in the brain in real-time. The system is based on modified silicon chips from cameras, but rather than taking a pict

With sensors that mimic human skin, the robotic hands achieve some of the manual dexterity that humans enjoy.

Catalytic converters and clean-energy technologies sop up air pollution like a sponge. Researchers find that stretching or compressing a key material boosts its cleansing power.

​A crystal is the repeated arrangement of identical atoms or molecules. But their value, as precious gems or silicon chips, often owes to tiny structural defects or impurities.

​New research on the biomechanical properties of skin has implications for new cosmetics, wearable tech, and treatment of damaged skin.

Silicon chips store data in billionths of a second, but phase-change memory could operate in trillionths of a second, while using less energy and space.

New insights about the protective layers in chips could help build sturdier products.
