Mingyu Yu, doctoral candidate in materials science and engineering at Penn State, recently received the Graduate Student Research Award from the professional society AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces and Processing for innovative research in two-dimensional materials.
With the help of a new grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), a team of Wayne State University College of Engineering researchers are developing new software to support computational materials design.
Allergies and asthma are widespread diseases that could arise during embryonal development in the womb. A team led by Empa researcher Tina B眉rki is investigating the possible causes of this. The focus is on nanoplastic particles, which could lead to the development of a hypersensitive immune system in the child.
Two University of Washington researchers are developing treatments that aim to simultaneously treat cancer and improve patients鈥� quality of life. For World Cancer Day, UW 海角社区 asked them to discuss their novel materials and how these materials can treat both the cancer and the patient.
The Vilcek Foundation has announced $250,000 in awards recognizing immigrant scientists. The 2025 Vilcek Foundation Prizes in Biomedical Science are bestowed as part of the foundation's annual prizes program in support of its mission.
Sandia National Laboratories鈥� Fellow Tina Nenoff has been elected a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, the academy announced on Dec. 10, 2024.

Researchers in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces report using silicone rubber enhanced with zirconia nanoparticles to create a gecko-inspired slip-resistant polymer. They say the material, which sticks to ice, could be incorporated into shoe soles to reduce injuries in humans.
Berkeley Lab鈥檚 Advanced Light Source and Molecular Foundry provided powerful tools to study asteroid samples returned by NASA鈥檚 OSIRIS-REx mission. Researchers found that asteroid Bennu contained a set of salty mineral deposits that formed in an exact sequence when a brine evaporated, leaving clues about the type of water that flowed billions of years ago.
A team led by researchers at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) used cutting-edge X-ray techniques to gain new insights into 鈥渋nfinite-layer鈥� nickelate materials
Dr. Jaewoo Kim's research team at the KIST, has developed a groundbreaking solution to overcome these limitations: the "Epoxy/MXene One-Component Solution." This innovative material consists of epoxy resin, polymeric imidazole-based latent curing agent particles, and a two-dimensional nanomaterial called MXene.
A new study led by Illinois Grainger Engineering Physics Professor Fahad Mahmood now reports the experimental discovery of a hidden gap in the electronic band structure of the intrinsic magnetic TI manganese bismuth telluride (MnBi2Te4).
Join Professor Jean Salen莽on, Senior Fellow of HKIAS, as he takes us on a fascinating journey through the origins of the Mathematical Theory of Plasticity. Discover the pioneering work of Henri-脡douard Tresca on the 鈥渇luidity鈥� of metals, the evolution of yield criteria, and how these ideas continue to shape material modeling in the age of AI.
From 8 to 18 January 2025, Professor Tobin Marks, our HKIAS Senior Fellow and an internationally renowned chemist as well as materials scientist, visited City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) for an academic exchange. His visit included interactions with prominent scholars and the delivery of the prestigious HKIAS Distinguished Lecture on 13 January 2025.
By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material.
Yevgeny Raitses and Elena Belova were named PPPL鈥檚 2024 Distinguished Research Fellows for their exceptional contributions to plasma physics. Their pioneering work in low-temperature plasma and fusion simulations highlights PPPL鈥檚 leadership in advancing plasma research and fusion energy.
In her research, Dounia Shaaban Kabakibo, a PhD student in physics at UdeM, explores the potential of new materials 鈥� namely, crystals 鈥� to make solid-state batteries.
A team of scientists investigate an exotic, light-induced phase transformation within a material using advanced X-ray and laser capabilities.
Pioneering researchers of self-generated spin torques have discovered a new one, anomalous Hall torque, that completes a triad of torques likely present in all conductive spintronic materials. Dubbed the Universal Hall Torques, the triad have unique spin behavior favorable to cutting-edge technologies, like human brain-inspired computing that processes massive amounts of data with much greater efficiency.
