Still, their interest was piqued during an engineering seminar course when a material scientist froze a racquetball with ...

A new study led by Colorado State University Distinguished Professor Eugene Chen outlines a path to creating advanced, ...

By examining squid skin cells three-dimensionally, a University of California, Irvine–led team has unveiled the structures ...

College of Engineering Materials Science & Engineering Nearly all technology — whether brand new or well-established — depends on materials development and innovation. Understanding the behavior of ...

They are marvels of the natural world. The weave of twigs, grass, leaves and other natural materials is specific to each species. Most birds use nests only to raise their young.

Porous materials derived from natural and biodegradable polymers have received growing interest. We demonstrate here an attractive method for the preparation of protein-based porous materials using ...

Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) represents a versatile approach for depositing nanoscale quantities of fluids onto surfaces. Here, we show that overwriting─or patterning fluids onto previously deposited ...

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%.

It also shows promise for characterization, especially with autonomous scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), an important but often labor-intensive tool for materials science and other ...

Melbourne-based interior designer Fiona Lynch’s approach blurs the lines between sculptural art and everyday function. It makes sense, given her background in fine arts. Lynch’s eponymous ...

Now, Binghamton University researchers are studying the cell structure of fungi to learn how it determines their mechanical properties and what science can learn from that to create better materials.

College of Natural and Social SciencesThe College of Natural and Social Sciences (NSS) is the largest college at Cal State LA with over 150 outstanding and dedicated faculty who have won more ...
