The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...
As light as possible and as strong as possible at the same time. These are the requirements for modern lightweight materials, such as those used in aircraft construction and the automotive industry. A ...
SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing, Vol. 1, No. 1 (2009), pp. 204-210 (7 pages) ABSTRACTWhen improving the mechanical properties of a crankshaft by nitrocarburizing, it is ...
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a new material that combines the strength of steel and the lightness of plastic. Doctor Michael Strano, a ...
Strength, ductility and toughness are three very important, closely related material properties. The yield and ultimate strengths tell us how much stress a material can withstand, and are often used ...
Colorized scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) image showing a Cu3Li precipitate in the Cu-Ta-Li alloy. The orange-colored features are primarily Cu atoms in the alloy matrix, while the ...
“For the given density, our material is the strongest known,” Seok-Woo Lee, a materials scientist at the University of Connecticut and coauthor of a resulting study published in the journal Cell ...
It may not be as catchy a name as Iron Man, but in a fight you might be better off betting on Glass DNA Nanolattice Man instead. Engineers at the University of Connecticut have developed a very strong ...
