From composition to performance, two recent studies show how additively manufactured steels measure up to their conventionally produced counterparts.
What do magnets, smartphones and medical imaging devices have in common? They all depend on rare earth elements called lanthanides, which are vital for modern technology.
Over the next decade, aluminum auto body scrap will flood salvage systems, much of it too impure for reuse in critical parts. ORNL researchers developed RidgeAlloy, a new aluminum alloy that turns low-value scrap into a reliable, high-value domestic supply for structural automotive manufacturing.
Ice crystals are surprisingly tolerant of defects in their structure. The findings come from the first-ever molecular-resolution observations of nanoscale samples of ice frozen from liquid water.
A spinning tool plunges into two pieces of metal, rotating at a high rate of speed. As the tool begins to move, it softens and mixes the metal, creating a powerful weld—one that can securely join similar and dissimilar materials (particularly metals and alloys) without rivets, fasteners, or adhesive.
As the volume of scientific literature continues to grow, researchers are turning to artificial intelligence to sift through millions of research papers and uncover insights that can accelerate the discovery of new materials.
Plutonium has captured the attention of scientists since its discovery in the early 1940s. This enigmatic element has an important role to play in emerging energy technologies like nuclear batteries and reactors, but it also has complicated electronic behavior that causes some intriguing effects.
A research team led by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has built and successfully demonstrated an automated experimentation platform to optimize the fabrication of advanced materials.
Monash engineers have unveiled a breakthrough catalyst that could supercharge next-generation batteries, offering more power, longer life and lower costs.
Oxford's 3D-CAT initiative focuses on creating next-gen lithium-ion battery cathodes, improving energy density and supporting the transition to Net Zero.
