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

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The mechanism of deformation of metals at high velocities has been studied by examining the microstructure of cylinders of mild steel, ...

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a streamlined and industrially scalable methodology to design and control microstructure in nickel-based superalloys manufactured by laser ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

The surface properties of some steel alloys can be adjusted through the introduction of specific elements via diffusion. An example of such a process is nitriding, where nitrogen is diffused into the ...

In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and environmental factors create tiny variations in the skin's ridges and whorls, ...

A new study finds poor quality of available foods, increased intake of calories from foods high in trans-fatty acids, and environments that do not foster physical activity, all prevalent in ...
