The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the ...

Inorganic crystal materials, for example, may show enormous promise once you first synthesize them, but all this potential could lead nowhere if the crystals don't remain stable; it's no good ...

Nano–soft hybrid materials combine the structural precision of nanotechnology with the adaptability of soft matter such as liquid crystals.

Under the right conditions, liquid crystals condense into astonishing structures, spontaneously generating filaments and flattened discs that can transport material from one place to another, much ...

Yeah, but can it win at Go? Oh, it can, okay then. Seriously though, it's a good time to be in material sciences. I suppose if I was about to go to college now, I'd consider that instead. I have to ...
