New results published in the journal Physical Review Letters detail how a specially designed metamaterial was able to tip the ...

A new material called Alloy 30 shrinks when it is heated and expands when it is cooled and it could help with telescope ...

A new silicon material switches from insulator to metal in picoseconds. This breakthrough could speed up future computers.

When the search for habitable exoplanets requires a 1,000 times more stable telescope than James Webb Space Telescope, even ...

Efficiently capturing and storing excess heat, particularly below 200°C, is paramount to achieving a carbon-neutral society.

"Because of this material design, the infrared wavelength range where the thermal radiation has multiple resonance peaks, meaning the structure absorbs and emits thermal radiation over multiple ...

Because it shrinks when other materials expand, Allvar Alloy 30 can be used to strategically compensate for the expansion and ...

In a world overrun with plastic garbage, causing untold environmental woes, University of Houston assistant professor of ...
