US researchers are racing to build metals that can shrug off temperatures and particle bombardment rivaling the surface of ...

Strong, lightweight, superelastic, and able to function across a range of temperatures, this newly developed alloy could be a game-changer for space exploration and medical technology. Researchers at ...

Researchers just hit two benefits with one catalyst. They converted methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, into ethylene (C2H4), a highly demanded raw material in industrial sectors, using sunlight ...

A new tungsten-based alloy can withstand unprecedented amounts of radiation without damage. Essential for extreme irradiation environments such as the interiors of magnetic fusion reactors, previously ...

You may recall the old universal solvent problem: There’s an old problem in chemical solvents: a solvent that dissolves anything isn’t easy to bottle up. High-performance metallurgy faces a similar ...

Peritectic solidification involves the nucleation and growth of the primary phase, the peritectic reaction of the primary phase with the remnant liquid phase, and the microstructural evolution of the ...

Chemical & Materials Engineering Assistant Professor Yufeng Zheng will begin research this August to design novel titanium alloys with both high strength and ductility (capability of materials to bend ...

Lead-free solder alloys have been around for as long as people have done soldering, with sources dating back about 5,000 years. Most of these alloys were combinations like copper-silver or silver-gold ...

The Science of Alloy Building Ours is the Alloy Age, Alloy Making Today is No Longer, As Once, a Shot in the Dark, New Rules in the Alloy Game, How We Ask the Atom ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...
