A new kind of concrete could let roads and bridges "heal" after cracking. That could cut down the costs and frequency of road repairs.

A new polymer composite may offer a lighter, non-toxic radiation shielding to replace lead, researchers report.

Sharing intelligence features between hardware and software would offset the energy demands of using artificial intelligence in more advanced applications.

"Our perovskite solar cells show no thermal degradation even at 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit) for over three days..."

The super-thin, stretchy material could be useful in medical wearable electronics because it's so breathable. That makes it better for long-term use.

With a charge, researchers got microparticles to form via self-assembly into complex crystals that mimic gemstones like opals.

A self-adapting material that gains stiffness under pressure could "allow safer implants and bridges with minimal complication, cost, and downtime."

Researchers are working on UV LED lights that could rid surfaces, and potentially air and water, of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Scientists have designed plate-nanolattices, nanometer-sized carbon structures, that are stronger than diamonds as a ratio of strength to density.

A new algorithm cuts the error rates involved in testing the mechanical properties of materials, report researchers. It could be useful for evaluating 3D-printed materials.
