Drawing inspiration from flatworms and mussels, researchers have created a medical adhesive that stops blood loss and could save lives.

New research runs counter to conventional wisdom that says engineered surfaces can't have a strong affinity for water and also be slippery.

"Diamond rain" on the giant icy planets Neptune and Uranus could be more common than previously thought, say scientists.

Simulated Mars dust and titanium alloy combine to make a 3D printed material that could one day become tools or rocket parts on Mars.

"We have created the first example of an engineering material that can simultaneously sense, think, and act upon mechanical stress..."

Researchers have created a new method to make surfaces "superhydrophobic." That means water can't touch it, which could have a lot of interesting uses.

Adding tiny bits of chitin—about 1,000 times smaller than a human hair—from waste shrimp shells to cement paste made the material up to 40% stronger.

Repurposing dead spiders as mechanical grippers is more than just a cool trick. The tech could be useful for repetitive tasks and microelectronic assembly.

"In principle, we can now scale semitransparent organic solar cells to two meters by two meters, which brings our windows much closer to reality."

New models show the unique properties that result from stressing 2D materials with contoured substrates.
