Graphene, a “wonder material” that could help solve some of humanity’s deepest problems, has cleared a major hurdle towards practical uses. Graphene is the world’s thinnest, super-strong and ...

Hypersonic vehicles — aircraft that can reach speeds of Mach 5 and beyond — are subject to extreme conditions while they are in flight, requiring strong yet aerodynamic materials to keep them both ...

Atmospheric CO2 continues to increase and, despite considerable worldwide efforts to cut down on carbon waste, is expected to rise more in coming decades. Researchers demonstrated that new, lower-cost ...

A new computational framework developed by a team with Professor Chris Wolverton maps atomic ordering to unlock ...

Every year, thousands of new materials are created, yet many never reach their full potential because their applications aren't immediately obvious—a challenge University of Toronto researchers aim to ...

Penn State scientists have unveiled a new theory-driven method to predict superconductors, offering a possible path toward ...
