Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have successfully demonstrated that autonomous methods can discover new materials.

Scientists measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, in a chromium, cobalt, and nickel alloy.

Director of the ASU Compact X-ray Free Electron Laser Labs Robert Kaindl discusses his journey to becoming the director, the challenges he has helped guide the project through and the exciting opportunities that the CXFEL will offer in the years to come.

Creating solid-liquid-solid phase-changes by moving ions could produce enough heat transfer to replace greenhouse gas compression in domestic

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discovered a new method of refrigeration called ionocaloric cooling, which could help reduce the effects of global warming.

Researchers hope that ionocaloric cooling could someday help replace refrigerants with high global warming potential and provide safe, efficient cooling and heating for homes

Adding salt to a road before a winter storm changes when ice will form. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have applied this basic conce ...

Before a winter storm, adding salt on a road alters when the ice will form

Researchers have developed a new carbon-negative method for refrigeration inspired by the salting and gritting of roads to limit ice formation in the winter months.

As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics.
