Weight per unit volume, known as density, is a crucial physical property for coating materials, as well as other liquids and semiliquids. It serves as an initial indicator of the composition ratios ...

High energy density materials (HEDMs) represent a rapidly evolving class of compounds that store and release large amounts of energy in a compact framework. These materials, often based on ...

Powder is a collection of single solid particles, which in most cases may be considered a basic unit. Powder is typically comprised of solid particles, interparticle voids, as well as open and closed ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In a world driven by data, the relentless growth of digital information is pushing existing storage technologies to their limits. Every day, vast amounts of data are generated, ...

A joint research team from NIMS, The University of Tokyo, Kyoto Institute of Technology and Tohoku University has demonstrated that thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) exhibit altermagnetism—the ...

Grain boundaries are interfaces that separate different crystallographic regions, known as grains, within a polycrystalline material. In nanomaterials, grain boundaries play a crucial role in ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a significant class of materials promising for photocatalysis, and defect ...

Decades ago, the entrance to the somewhat sleepy Francis Bitter National Magnet Lab at MIT was decorated with a movie poster from The Magnetic Monster, a 1953 American science fiction film. Since then ...

A newly validated magnetic state could open a path toward ultra-fast, high-density memory for future AI and data-center technologies. A collaborative team of researchers from NIMS, the University of ...
