Because of the strange properties of many-body quantum-physics each material behaves in a unique way ... charge density waves or orbitally ordered structures.

Optical materials and structures are substances used to manipulate ... dose rate range of 50 to 5000 mGy h −1, suggesting their practical use as NIR scintillation detectors.

The new generation of hydrogels moves away from the bulk materials of old, to those with multilayered, complex internal structures and ... and are well known for their ability to absorb water.

Condensed matter systems are defined by their internal structure – the distribution of atoms, defects, and large multidomain microstructures. This course builds a framework for first year graduate (or ...

A structure is a 3D shape made from different materials and parts. Some can be simple to build, such as a wall. Others can be complex, or harder to build, such as a bridge or a building.

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

Rice University researchers have revealed novel sequence-structure-property relationships for customizing engineered living ...

Researchers have revealed novel sequence-structure-property relationships for customizing engineered living materials (ELMs), enabling more precise control over their structure and how they respond to ...

Their results are published in Nature Communications. In the field of materials science, exploring the electronic structure of real materials is of particular interest, since it allows for better ...
