With additive manufacturing, used to build this heat exchanger, one key is to do prototyping for the part and then see whether additive or subtractive manufacturing is the better choice of manufacture ...

A new computational approach developed at the University of Chicago promises to shed light on some of the world's most ...

The research team developed single-crystal HfB2 with a nanorod structure as the toughening phase for ceramic matrix composites, successfully fabricating HfB2-SiC composites that simultaneously possess ...

This year's 35 Innovators are making it possible for familiar materials like glass, steel, and electronics to have completely new properties. In the 24 years I’ve worked as a materials scientist, I’ve ...

With some 5,000 grades of steel available today, the steel manufacturing process hinges on fine nuances. To create new properties or to ensure consistent material quality, steels are analysed using a ...

The picture that pops up before our inner eye when we hear the word "satellite" is probably this: Two extended solar "wings" ...

Method could help explain how transport properties emerge from quantum effects in materials like solar cells and ...

For advanced bonding schemes and panel operations, there is a high cost to discovering an interface issue late in the flow. Reliability improves when materials are specified as a system rather than as ...
