Broadcom’s 340% Rally Has Wall Street Debating If It's Magnificent Seven Material

This Plastic Dissolves in Seawater and Leaves Behind Zero Microplastics | Japanese scientists unveil a material that dissolves in hours in contact with salt, leaving no trace behind.

Android 16 Material 3 Expressive vs. iOS 26 Liquid Glass: Imperfect polar opposites

Swapping slag for sludge leads to emissions-cutting tough concrete | Using more sludge and less slag in their recipe, researchers were able to create a material that's stronger than even today's enhanced cements and highly resistant to corrosion by acid.

Pixel devices are about to get more animated with Material 3 Expressive updates

Material 3 Expressive

Google leaked its own design process for Material 3 Expressive

Smart clothing controls devices via finger movements – no touching required | The wearer could perform tasks such as turning on appliances, answering phone calls, or operating smart TVs, all just by moving their index finger in the air space above the material.

Wound dressing uses tiny flowers to go big on killing bacteria | Scientists create a material that kills multiple types of harmful bacteria, and it does so using tiny flowers.

Self-healing Asphalt Could Prevent Potholes and Save Costs on Vehicle Repairs | By embedding tiny plant spores filled with recycled oils into asphalt, scientists have created a material that can mend its own cracks.

Researchers in Finland have invented a new type of material to develop microscopic memristors that mimic brain activity. These memristors, with their exceptional properties, could be key to curbing the growth in electricity consumption driven by AI.

Physicists Magnetize a Material with Light

Injected hydrogel becomes a bone-healing solid when exposed to light | Cells from the adjacent bone tissue gradually migrate into such a material, where they proceed to reproduce as the material harmlessly biodegrades.

Man sick of crashes sues Intel for allegedly hiding CPU defects

Google Chat's floating tabs are getting a splash of Material You color

Stronger, greener PVC developed through chemical bonding to end microplastic menace | Researchers have found a way to electrically attach plasticizers directly to PVC molecules, creating a more stable and durable material through a process called “grafting.”

LG Chem develops material capable of suppressing thermal runaway in batteries

LG’s 100x thinner-than-hair material cuts battery explosion risk in EVs by 50% | SRL allows electricity to flow normally unless the battery gets too hot, in which case it acts like a fuse to stop it.

Exploring peptide clumping for improved drug and material solutions

Shapeshifting battery can stretch 5000%, retain charge after 70 cycles | Researchers used material used to make contact lenses to make the battery flexible.
