The further development of modern science and technology relies strongly on the collection, curation, processing and use of data and relevant metadata: data-driven science is now more relevant than ...

We are living in the age of information, and this sentiment also pertains to astronomy. Quite a few telescopes are trained to scan large sections of our sky, cataloging and imaging millions, even ...

How nanoscale control changed materials science, from atomic-level design in coatings and quantum materials to bio-inspired ...

Researchers introduced a novel method for fabricating functional flat-to-shape objects using a computer-controlled sewing machine. The team's method uses the sewing machine to stitch pockets between ...

Scientists are using mechanisms inspired by nature to create new technological innovations. A team has now created an octopus-inspired adhesive, inspired by the shape of octopus suckers, that can ...

In the outer reaches of the Solar System, beyond the ice giant Neptune, lies a ring of comets and dwarf planets known as the Kuiper Belt. The closest of these objects are billions of kilometers away.

In this Perspective, we discuss the main advances in the MP over the past decade, contextualized within the materials science community, and we outline the remaining challenges and the philosophy with ...

The Vera Rubin telescope is poised to kick off an explosive era of discovery. "It's like old-fashioned astronomy: Find the thing, point telescopes at it, argue about it. It's going to be fun." ...
