Researchers used Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to capture how the microstructure of metals evolves in real time during 3D printing. The findings could pave the way for advanced manufacturing of ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy’s Critical Materials Institute (CMI) and Ames National Laboratory have improved the properties of a rare-earth-free permanent magnet material and demonstrated ...

Typically, metals comprise a myriad of tiny crystal grains, which differ in size, shape, and crystal lattice orientation—namely how the atoms within the grain are packed and arranged in space. The ...

In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, resulting in ...

With each passing day, the performance of aerospace systems is increasing significantly. This requires the use of advanced structural and functional materials that possess the required characteristics ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers, led by Professor Soo-Hyun Kim in the Graduate School of Semiconductors Materials and Devices Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering ...

A team led by researchers has created a super-strong yet light structural metal with extremely high specific strength and modulus, or stiffness-to-weight ratio. To create the super-strong but ...
