Think twice about eliminating those pesky ants at your next family picnic. Their behavior may hold the key to reinventing how engineering materials, traffic control and multi-agent robots are made and ...

ASU is home to researchers at the forefront of material science, pushing boundaries with innovative techniques. These methods are not only advancing the understanding of matter but also driving the ...

The rapid advancement of 2D materials (2DMs), such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), has revolutionized the field of nanotechnology and ...

Scientists report a new method that achieves for the first time valley polarization in centrosymmetric bulk materials in a non-material-specific way. This 'universal technique' may have major ...

NJIT's Matthew Loges ’25 and Assistant Professor Tomer Weiss explored how the collective behavior of ants — acting like both fluids and elastic materials — can inspire breakthroughs in engineering ...

Customizing the features and functionality of two-dimensional (2D) substances is inextricably linked to defect engineering. Traditional techniques, particularly in non-vacuum settings, do not provide ...

Product control is an essential aspect of a hazmat response, and it goes beyond the common application of absorbents to soak up vehicle fluids after a wreck. NFPA 470: Hazardous Materials/Weapons of ...

The field of tissue engineering aims to replicate the structure and function of real biological tissues. This engineered tissue has potential applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and ...
