Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming ...

Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, ...

Researchers observed how metal microstructures evolve during 3D printing, offering insights to improve strength, reliability, and design of advanced components. In a form of additive manufacturing, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to pattern materials into arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) microstructures is important for electronics, microfluidic networks, tissue engineering scaffolds, photonic ...

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In one form of additive manufacturing, complex metal parts are built one ultra-thin layer at a time — similar to frosting a cake, but with far greater precision and ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, resulting in ...

For the first time, researchers have used a single-step, laser-based method to produce small, precise hybrid microstructures of silver and flexible silicone. This innovative laser processing ...

Many utilities around the world have been discovering abnormal or aberrant P91 base and weld metal microstructures in their plants, leading to, or with a potential to lead to, early cracking and ...

The award was presented for Hoowaki’s surface engineering technology that increases energy efficiency by improving friction, fluid drag and heat transfer. This innovation comes from the laboratory of ...
