A research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed a high-performance heat-dissipating ...

R esearchers have developed very light and extremely strong material that can withstand extreme heat. The material could be ...

Often referred to as a “miracle material,” graphene is one million times thinner than a single human hair and stronger than steel. The two-dimensional carbon material, made from single layers of ...

Researchers have created a new 2D carbon material that is actually stronger than graphene. The material was created by researchers at Rice University, and they say that it is strong enough to prevent ...

Researchers have created a new kind of glass that, thanks to an intense manufacturing process and a bizarre chemical structure, they say is just about as hard as natural diamonds. “Consequently, our ...

Our next shoot for the Materials Science mini series "Making Stuff" brought us to the annual fall meeting of the Materials Research Society (MRS), our partner in creating "Making Stuff." As their ...

What’s stronger than spider silk? Limpet teeth! And what’s a limpet? They’re small aquatic snails with wide, conical shells. Their tiny, millimeter-long teeth are now the record holders for the ...

Step aside, Spider-Man: The world's strongest stuff isn't your silk; it's sea snail teeth. The teeth of the common limpet species (Patella vulgata) are tougher than Kevlar and stronger than spider ...

Growing up, kids dream about having a cool, carbon fiber car, but maturing is realizing that the unique material offers more than just sleek looks. Carbon fiber is created by repeatedly superheating ...

Every year, over 92 million tons of textile waste end up in our municipal landfills. Fabrics such as synthetic nylon can sometimes take around 200 years to decompose. Modern Synthesis is a biotech ...
