Science and Application of Materials

The University of Virginia and C-Crete Technologies will develop high-performance cement materials that can be manufactured with only a fraction of the energy and carbon emissions...

Professor Haydn Wadley and UVA were featured in a recent piece chronicling the history of DARPA and materials.

Edem Tetteh, a graduate student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is working with Rolls-Royce Commonwealth Professor Eric Loth to develop a coating that...

Researchers from UVA and two other universities have teamed up to analyze oxide films at the atomic level.

Researchers' analysis could help slow corrosion, an age-old problem.

Multidisciplinary faculty group will work to shrink computing memory bits.

UVA Professor Jon Ihlefeld combines materials and electrical engineering, fueling innovation in both fields.

Ihlefeld exemplifies the relationship that materials scientists have with electrical engineers, and his work in ferroelectric hafnium oxide has implications for ultra-low-power...

UVA Materials Science and Engineering Ph.D. student’s research is aimed at making jet engines more durable.

Ph.D. student Rebekah Webster’s research is sponsored by Rolls-Royce.

For as long as anyone in the Chemical Engineering Department can remember, students nearing graduation have presented their research to peers and faculty over the summer months.

"The magnitude of this on/off thermal conductivity ratio is large enough where we can now envision applications including not only smart fabrics, but also more efficiently...
