Metals typically soften as they expand when exposed to heat, but a research team directed by a City University of Hong Kong (CityU) scholar and other scientists have discovered a one-of-a-kind super-elastic alloy that can preserve its stiffness even upon being heated to 1,000 K (726.85 °C) or above, with almost zero energy dissipation.
After 30 years in development, the National Aeronautics Space Administration’s (NASA) James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was launched on December 25, 2021, from the European Space Agency’s launch site at Kourou in French Guiana.
Velo3D, Inc., a leading metal additive manufacturing technology company for mission-critical parts, has announced its first Sapphire® XC delivery.
ALLVAR announced that the company has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I.
Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize many of today’s advanced systems and machinery via the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures, materials, and devices.
Hot forming aluminum processes are important for many industrial sectors such as aerospace and automobiles. However, these processes can face challenges. To explore how these processes can be improved, a paper has been published in the journal Wear.
Heat shields have long been used by spacecraft for protection while entering into planetary atmospheres. Missions to the outer solar system in the future will necessitate more advanced materials than currently available. The extreme heating conditions required to examine new shield materials are, however, very problematic to realize experimentally on Earth.
Recent attention has focused on how human astronauts will set foot on our closest neighbor, Mars. One main concern is the type and amount of fuel that will be needed to transport people and goods to the Martian surface and get astronauts back to Earth safely.
Current and future space missions will push the limits of human exploration, taking astronauts further than ever before. New research by the American Chemical Society considers the role carbon nanotubes may play in space missions.
Allectra has provided custom flanges and cables for AstroBio CubeSat (ABCS), a 3U Cubesat hosting a mini laboratory payload based on innovative lab-on chip technology suitable for research in the astrobiology science, biotechnology and pharmaceutical technologies sectors.
