Researchers have developed a new kind of material with adjustable and reversible properties. This new smart fabric is 3D printed with interlinked particles, like chain mail. Applying pressure jams the particles together and the fabric becomes stiff and solid until the pressure is released. This unusual property could be useful for reusable casts and other […]
Accelerating science with the Aurora supercomputer
Housed at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility, the Aurora supercomputer gives the global science community a powerful new research tool with unprecedented abilities for simulations, AI, and data analysis.

Super-microscopy of nanographenes allows longer observation times
Researchers at Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany, enhanced stimulated emission depletion microscopy by replacing traditional fluorophores with nanographenes, enabling the observation of longer-duration processes, overcoming previous limitations of this type of imaging.
Designing stronger materials by breaking down corrosion
New research from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Calif., aims to tackle the problem of corrosion, which costs trillions of dollars globally. Their solution is to predict failure and design better materials up front.
