You may not give much thought to the environmental impact your driveway, but slowing down the flow of water with a permeable surface is very eco-friendly.

Researchers devised a machine-learning-based method to investigate how materials behave at their surfaces. The approach could help with developing new compounds or alloys for use as catalysts, ...

Surface properties dictate a vast array of material characteristics that are crucial to performance, durability, and intended functionality across diverse industries. Properties such as friction, wear ...

Many materials involved in manufacturing, handling, and using microelectronic parts easily become electrostatically charged when rubbed. If charged surfaces come near static-sensitive devices, the ...

MXenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials whose properties depend sensitively on the atoms bound to their surfaces. A new synthesis approach now allows researchers to control these ...
