Researchers at ETH Zurich are redefining the cocoa value chain through the development of innovative whole-fruit chocolate formulations.

Encapsulated aerogel fibers, which mimic polar bear hair, offer a new fabric for warm, thin, and strong clothing.

The latest research on deep learning is helping materials science to unlock over 2.2 million new materials.

Scientists have long struggled to explain the formation of dolomite, a mineral that is abundant in ancient rocks. A new theory solves this 200-year-old problem, paving the way for exciting innovations in materials science.

Researchers have developed a water purification device that is powered only by the sun.

Researchers have found that spraying high energy plasma at cheap graphite can make the valuable material graphene.

The diabolical ironclad beetle is strong enough to survive being run over by a car. Engineers recently tried to determine what gives the shell its characteristic strength.

Materials engineers at MIT have developed a new, more reliable design for a “memristor,” a component of computer circuits that could revolutionize artificial intelligence, improve efficiency of learning, lower energy costs, and fundamentally change the…

Because of food allergies, we need a fast way to test for allergens and contaminants in over 33 million kg/day of protein are available in North America. Aerosol-printed graphene sensors may be the way.

Engineers have built an artificial eye inspired by the design of biological eyes which can harness the many valuable characteristics of the human eye for image-sensing. It’s possible that it may even surpass the human eye in performance.
