Silicon is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and in its pure form the material has become the foundation of much of modern tech.

New research builds on team’s landmark discovery of a room-temperature superconductor by replicating results with even greater efficiency.

Rice University researchers have developed a simple method to make surfaces superhydrophobic — that is, very water-repellant.

A practical inorganic material in the fabrication process enables their devices to run 1 million times faster than previous versions.

Research team has succeeded for the first time in producing a molecular electric motor using the DNA origami method.

Silicon is one of Earth's most abundant elements, and in its pure form the material has become the foundation of much of modern technology.

Researchers have now demonstrated how the carbon atoms in mixed waste can replace all fossil raw materials in the production of new plastic.

Faster, smaller, smarter and more energy-efficient chips could soon be on the way after engineers created the smallest memory device yet.

Production of the building materials starts with microalgae and provides them what they need to do what they do naturally: biomineralization

have filed a patent and been awarded new research funding for their invention of the world’s first ever zero-emissions cement.

For over a decade, scientists have attempted to synthesize a new form of carbon called graphyne with limited success. That is until now.

To shrink devices while improving their performance researchers are searching for unique materials that combine both quantum properties.

Since the beginning of quantum physics, how light moves and interacts with matter around it has mostly been described and understood in math

Red bricks — some of the world’s cheapest and most familiar building materials — can be converted into energy storage units.

Mouthfeel, and even the sound that food makes when we bite it, helps determine whether we enjoy the eating experience.
