Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers are developing artificial intelligence (AI) tools to accelerate the pace of materials growth experiments, and ultimately, the design of next-generation materials. Dr. Tiffany Kaspar, materials scientist in PNNL’s Physical Metallurgy Materials Group, explains how AI dramatically reduces the number of failure cycles in a materials design process. Courtesy of […]
Making the most of the Residential & Dining Enterprises Teaching Kitchen @ Stanford, this course helps students learn the fundamentals of materials science through make all kinds of delectable goodies—from fruit caviar to fudge.
For the first time, scientists characterize a promethium coordination complex, which furthers their understanding of elusive lanthanide elements. The rare earth element promethium is unique in that it has no stable isotopes. This means that it is constantly decaying, making it difficult to study.
A team of researchers, led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, made an important discovery in their quest to design the next generation of materials for modern devices—ones that are lightweight, flexible, and excellent at dissipating heat: imperfection has its upsides.
