But research on our natural resources is on the chopping block. The One Big Beautiful Bill, moving through the U.S. Senate, proposes cutting NSF funding by over 60%.

Materials scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a method for creating natural rubber that significantly increases its resistance to ...

Using nothing but materials from the wild, we built a simple yet effective trap to catch a wild eel. These creatures are quick and tough to catch, but the design worked perfectly.

Advancing Knowledge Non-Profit Company (AK NPC) has continued with its professional development programme for Natural Sciences educators into the second term of the school year. During the first ...

Led by Northwestern Engineering’s Cécile Chazot, the Materials Initiative for Comprehensive Research Opportunity (MICRO) allows undergraduates from universities without materials science programs or ...

This project enables us to use this natural interaction with 3D graphics to leverage our innate abilities of 3D vision and manipulation,” study lead author Asier Marzo, a professor of computer ...

Corrosion of materials impacts critical economic sectors from infrastructure to transportation. The development of safe, corrosion-inhibiting materials is thus an important area of study in materials ...

Probably not -- unless you've heard of transparent wood. Made by modifying wood's natural structure, this material has been proposed as a sturdy, eco-friendly alternative for plastic.

Natural materials commonly exhibit disorder at small scales. In addition to human bone, the researchers point to nacre, the iridescent material inside seashells, and the threads mussels use for ...
