When a NASA spacecraft made its first full orbit around Jupiter, an instrument on board recorded haunting sounds perfect for Halloween.
Jupiter’s auroras emit spooky sounds
Introducing a new program from the ASM Materials Education Foundation
Already well known for the Materials Camp Program for both high school students and teachers, the ASM Materials Education Foundation has launched the Materials Matter program for middle school students.
Sensing skin spots cracks in structures
Researchers have developed a multi-layered “sensing skin” to detect corrosive or otherwise harmful substances in structures. The skin can also detect cracks and other structural flaws that are invisible to the naked eye.
Extreme microscopes inspire new materials
Researchers are pushing the limits of electron microscopy into the tens of picometer scale, a fraction of the size of a hydrogen atom.
Material could help electric cars charge faster
An electric car currently relies on a complex interplay of both batteries and supercapacitors to provide the energy it needs to go places. But chemists are developing a new material that could change that.
