Chinese researchers at Hefei University of Technology have created a paper-thin LED that gives off a warm, sun-like glow and could light up the next generation of phone and computer screens and other light sources.
This video from the Efficient Engineer details the composition and properties of various superalloys, comparing their performance to conventional materials. Learn how their unique microstructure contributes to their exceptional strength and stability under intense heat and stress.
This video from Cody’s Lab explains the heat treatment and purification of rhodium.
A team led by Rice University’s Yong Lin Kong has developed a soft yet strong metamaterial capable of rapidly changing its size and shape through remote control, marking a major step forward for ingestible and implantable medical devices. Unlike natural materials, metamaterials derive their unique properties from their physical structure rather than chemical composition. Kong’s […]
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a breakthrough method that brings quantum-level precision to molecular modeling, offering deeper insights into chemical reactions and material properties. This advancement addresses the quantum many-body problem—how electrons interact to form chemical bonds and influence electrical behavior—which traditionally requires immense computational power and is limited to small molecules.
