From ultra-sensitive sensors to shape-shifting implants, stimuli-responsive smart materials react reversibly to heat, light, stress, or pH. They could transform devices and therapies once issues in ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

Smart or intelligent materials possess unique capabilities, such as self-adaptability, memory, self-sensing, and multi-functionality, making them attractive across many industries, including aerospace ...

A new leap in lab automation is shaking up how scientists discover materials. By switching from slow, traditional methods to real-time, dynamic chemical experiments, researchers have created a ...

Excitement is building among NASA researchers and local high school students as they look forward to their first up-close look at materials experiments flown on the exterior of the International Space ...
