Alloying, the art of blending metals with other elements, has long been a cornerstone of materials science and metallurgy, creating materials with tailored properties. In contrast, dealloying has been ...

Scientists have observed a new microscopic mechanism enabling precise control of the magneto-optical properties of excitons ...

Nuclear fusion holds immense promise as a clean, limitless energy source. But building reactors that can withstand the harsh conditions inside them remains a monumental challenge. Now, though, ...

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 ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chinese researchers have published new peer-reviewed findings and orbital experiment data that advance the science behind high-entropy alloys, a class of materials with direct relevance to hypersonic ...
