Using a new precision bonding process they developed, Penn State researchers have designed and fabricated tiny new piezoelectric microactuators -- the largest only a hair's breadth wide -- based on coupling commercia...
As BASF celebrates the 75th anniversary of the plastic polystyrene, which was manufactured on an industrial scale for the first time and patented by BASF researchers in 1930, the polystyrene experts have devised an Inter...
A new capability that will allow Ashland researchers to replicate production-like conditions for Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) product development is being installed at Ashland’s Dublin, Ohio, technical center. The...
Ceramic/metal joints have been increasingly applied in a wide range of engineering fields because the ceramic has stable mechanical properties at high temperature and good resistance to wear, erosion and oxidation. Howev...
Collaboration between scientific disciplines is the key to finding solutions to major world challenges, according to Imperial College London's new head of the Department of Materials.

Corrosive gasses coupled with bursts of extreme heat could perhaps describe the surface of Venus, but on Earth this mix can also be found in the pollution scrubbers attached to many industrial smokestacks. For scrubbers ...
Many advanced material fabrication techniques use multi-step processes that can be environmentally stressing, energy-consuming and have high-costs.
In an article published in AZojomo researchers have described a nove...
