Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...

You’ll tackle projects in computational materials design (from high-throughput modeling and phase-diagram simulations to training machine-learning models on experimental signals such as UV–Vis/IR) ...

Programmable material systems are emerging architectural structures but the co-design of structure, material, and external stimuli present grand challenges. A team with Northwestern Engineering’s Wei ...

Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors are a class of materials that can offer a range of advantages over silicon. These materials can operate at higher voltages and higher temperatures, serving as ...

How additive manufacturing advanced the development of functionally graded materials. Why compositionally graded materials present a greater challenge to materials engineers. How computational ...

With additive manufacturing, used to build this heat exchanger, one key is to do prototyping for the part and then see whether additive or subtractive manufacturing is the better choice of manufacture ...
