Physics professor Moussa N'Gom, Ph.D., and materials science professor Edwin Fohtung, Ph.D., have brought together their respective areas of expertise—optics and materials science —to illuminate ...

What's the best way to precisely manipulate a material's properties to the desired state? It may be straining the material's atomic arrangement, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic ...

How nanoscale control changed materials science, from atomic-level design in coatings and quantum materials to bio-inspired ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a technique that allows them to engineer a class of materials called layered hybrid perovskites (LHPs) down to the atomic level, which dictates precisely ...
