Australian engineers have created a strong and lightweight titanium material that floats in water, even after severe damage, revealing a promising new material for marine infrastructure.
A UK startup that has found a novel way to make advanced heat-resistant materials is targeting further expansion in the US with the launch of an office in Silicon Valley.
Researchers developed a liquid metal-semiconductor valve that regulates current direction while remaining functional in flexible circuits stretched to approximately 1000% strain. The system also supports tunable switching, reconfigurable OR and AND logic, and wireless-energy-assisted logic operation under extreme deformation, providing a new approach to adaptive soft electronics.
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced the Thermo Scientific™ EMPAD™ G2 detector, a new detector designed to help researchers see and understand materials in unprecedented detail.
This study reveals the potential of exhaled breath analysis using PTR-MS for non-invasive lung cancer screening, identifying key VOC patterns and biomarkers.
Researchers developed CoatingDet, a publicly available dataset containing 5,416 high-resolution images of wind turbine tower coatings captured under real manufacturing conditions, with annotations for critical defects and benign surface particles. Validation with YOLOv11n and RT-DETR showed the dataset can support reproducible deep learning-based inspection while highlighting the importance of lighting conditions and class imbalance for reliable deployment.
Researchers used atomic-resolution imaging and simulations to show how twist angle alters halide-ion migration across CsPbBr3–CsPbCl3 perovskite heterostructures by changing the formation of interfacial diffusion channels. A 28° twist delayed interdiffusion, reduced the diffusion-channel ratio by more than 60%, and improved photodetector stability under accelerated thermal testing.
Researchers developed a multi-phase machine-learning framework to rapidly predict electronic band gaps and screen oxide perovskites for potential photovoltaic applications. Starting from more than half a million candidate structures, the approach progressively narrowed the search to a small group of band-gap-compatible compositions that now require higher-level computational and experimental validation.
A new purple cooling fabric developed by Chinese and Australian researchers could help people stay cooler during scorching summer days without having to resort to wearing white.
A computational preprint screened nearly 92 million compositionally complex materials to determine how elemental mixing alters neutron transport in fusion shielding. The study identified two proposed neutronic cocktail effects involving scattering, absorption, and atomic density that could guide lower-cost, more resource-efficient nuclear materials.
