Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.

Superionic materials are a class of materials that simultaneously present properties that are characteristic of solids and ...

This chanmail-like material can morph and adapt like fluids or solids.

Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...

Daraio herself described them as really a "new class of matter" and said that they can take the form of squishy or metal ...

This course builds a framework for first year graduate (or equivalent) students to succeed in the core materials science and engineering curriculum by establishing a real space and k-space description ...

the researchers created a crystalline solid out of 1a molecules, which are cyclic oligophenylenes with CO 2 H functional groups in the inner portion of their ring-like structure. When forming this ...

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

While researchers have been interested in this compound for some time, they have not known how lithium ions are able to pass through its solid crystalline structure so easily. The new results ...

However, when compressed, these structures become fully rigid and behave like solids. Chiara Daraio reflects on the distinct ...
