Scientists in Japan working to stretch the limits of super-elastic materials have made a significant breakthrough, demonstrating a new iron-based alloy that endures extremely high and low temperatures ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

They found that some iron alloys could form a superionic state, which would explain the observations. In a superionic iron alloy, the iron atoms form a solid lattice that holds the material in shape, ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

The effects of cycles of compression and relaxation during Earth’s early lifetime can be studied using a combination of fast ...

Vehicle engine designers are beset by conflicting demands. On the one hand, they must reduce costs as intense international competition is driving the need to cut product prices so that companies can ...

A metallic alloy of chromium, cobalt, and nickel is over 100 times tougher than graphene and gets even more resistant to damage at extremely low temperatures. When you purchase through links on our ...

What are Biodegradable Metallic Materials? Biodegradable materials (BMs) have been a priority for temporary biomedical implants over the past twenty years. These materials, including magnesium, zinc, ...

THE joint paper by Dr. Hanson, of the National Physical Laboratory, and Mr. J. R. Freeman, jun., of the United States Bureau of Standards, on the above subject, presented at the May meetirig of the ...
