Alberto Corigliano, Politecnico di Milano, explores the development of sentient materials and structures through the IMMENSE ...

Materials scientists developed a fast, low-cost, scalable method to make covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a class of crystalline polymers whose tunable molecular structure, large surface area and ...

In their exploration of smart materials with tunable friction, scientists have made interesting observations regarding the structure of materials. In experiments they found that friction forces are ...

"In various regions of the planet, nature imposes adverse conditions on the human body. In these places, designing a building is almost like creating a garment: an artifact that protects and offers ...
