Researchers with the schools of science and engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) are exploring new ways to ...

High pressure is a powerful and clean variable, which when applied can bring about large changes in structure and properties of materials. It can be used to simulate the conditions found deep inside ...

Scientists have learned that they can intentionally cause symmetry breaking—or symmetry restoration—in quantum dots to create new materials with unique properties. In a recent study ...

Architected materials – like this 3D lattice – get their properties not from what they are made out of, but from their structure. Ryan Lee, CC BY-ND The new material is a type of architected ...
