Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without ...

Effective characterisation of atomic-scale dislocations is important to understand a crystalline material’s physical properties, its processing or natural history, or its suitability for certain ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...

As the aerospace sector pursues propulsion systems that are cleaner, quieter, and more efficient, materials used in turbine components face increasingly demanding thermal and mechanical environments.

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab ...
