The selection of the proper materials for a structural component is critical to engineering design. Existing design procedures may currently be sufficient, especially where experience exists, but ...

As she walks around the lab of Rigetti Computing, quantum engineer Sabrina Hong strains to make her voice heard over a loud pumping noise. It’s the heartbeat of helium refrigerators cooling down the ...

A new computer vision technique developed by engineers significantly speeds up the characterization of newly synthesized electronic materials. Such materials might be used in novel solar cells, ...

Organic electronics could change the electronics industry with their high cost-efficiencies and versatility compared with more commonly used inorganic electronics. For example, their flexibility could ...

This chapter discusses the structural design context for materials selection, the materials selection process, the evolution of computer systems that support the design process, and the needs for ...

Boosting the performance of solar cells, transistors, LEDs, and batteries will require better electronic materials, made from novel compositions that have yet to be discovered. To speed up the search ...
