Penn State researchers created seven new high-entropy oxides by removing oxygen during synthesis, enabling metals that normally destabilize to form rock-salt ceramics. Machine learning helped identify ...

Having the right tool for the job makes the job a lot easier, less expensive and faster. Chemical engineering researchers have now developed a virtual laboratory that can be used to determine the ...

Penn State scientists discovered seven new ceramics by simply removing oxygen—opening a path to materials once beyond reach.

This semester Lyndsay Munro, teaching professor and general chemistry coordinator, introduced a new assignment in her chemical synthesis laboratory course. The assignment was to build a model of a ...

A new open-source, 3D-printed robot is set to transform how researchers conduct material synthesis. Known as FLUID (Flowing Liquid Utilizing Interactive Device), the affordable and fully customizable ...

In the past few years, researchers have turned increasingly to data science techniques to aid problem-solving in organic synthesis. The software adapts key principles of Bayesian Optimization (BO) to ...

During the experiments, Jiang et al precisely delivered laser packages with a pulse duration of 5 nanoseconds, and a pulse energy of up to 600 mJ to carbonaceous supports to generate an obvious plasma ...

Artificial intelligence is accelerating material discovery and design by automating analysis, guiding experiments, and enabling predictive modeling across spectroscopy, microscopy, and synthesis.
