Bond movie titles can be deceiving-- diamonds are not forever when it comes to demanding tasks like cutting steel. Now, researchers have combined diamond with cubic boron nitride, a hard human-made ...

In an effort to make alloys stronger, researchers at North Carolina State University took a cue from bamboo: They increased the grain size gradually, going from the skin toward the center of the metal ...

The emergence of carbon-neutral energy systems such as high-temperature electrolysis, solar thermal power plants, small modular reactors, and hydrogen- and ammonia-based processes has necessitated the ...

Regular rims do the job of keeping the tyre of the car in place and are found in most base models of all hatchbacks and entry level sedans. So, why is it that alloy rims come as a standard equipment ...

Washington, D.C.—Ever since the Bronze Age, humans have experimented with combining different metals to create alloys with properties superior to either metal alone. But not all metals readily form ...

A new study shows high frequency sound waves can have a significant impact on the inner micro-structure of 3D printed alloys, making them more consistent and stronger than those printed conventionally ...
