Better predictions of how many valuable materials behave under stress could be on the way from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where scientists have recently found evidence of an important similarity between the behavior of polycrystalline materials-such as metals and ceramics-and glasses.
A research team led by a chemist at the University of California, Riverside has fabricated microscopic polymer beads that change color instantly and reversibly when external magnetic fields acting upon the microspheres change orientation.
By squeezing a typical metal alloy at pressures hundreds of thousands of times greater than normal atmospheric pressure, scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created a material that does no...
iCrete, a clean technology leader and the world's premier concrete technology company, announced today the introduction of a new family of advanced self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixes.

Carbon Design Innovations, Inc. (C|D|I) today announced the availability of two new atomic force microscope (AFM) probes types with carbon nanotube (CNT) tips. The CCHAR (carbon core high-aspect ratio) and CCHR (carbon core highresolution) CNT probes offer quantum improvements for AFM imaging, substantially improving results, reducing overall cost of operation and opening new avenues for research.
22 years ago Goran Spetz started Elastocon, the Swedish test instrument company, with a range of cell ageing ovens for polymers which offered major improvements in the control of temperature ( uniformly throughout the co...
Columbia University in New York City will host a rare convergence of two international groups of colloid and surface scientists from June 14 to June 19, 2009 at its Morningside campus. The triennial 13th International Co...
