You've decided on a metal roof. It's a hefty investment, but you've heard you'll get 40-70 years out of it and — being the optimistic sort — you're sure you'll ...

Researchers used epitaxial strain on ultra-thin ruthenium oxide layers to induce magnetism in a material typically known for being metallic but nonmagnetic. (Nanowerk News) In a new study, researchers ...

Theta-phase tantalum nitride conducts heat nearly three times better than copper, opening new pathways for cooling electronics, AI, and quantum hardware. (Nanowerk News) A UCLA-led, multi-institution ...

A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

That makes the new material a stretchy, flexible polymer with a liquid metal center that effectively prevents gases and liquids from passing through. In tests of the material’s effectiveness, the team ...
