Engineers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new approach to flame spray pyrolysis (FSP), a manufacturing process for making large batches of nanomaterials. The new process provides several benefits over traditional methods. For...

Scientists have unlocked this mystery in an effort to reduce hazardous emissions.

A recent case study on flexible cubic boron nitride (CBN) grit hones show how they are ideal for restoring the surface integrity of machined superalloys.

Quantum materials that act as ion conductors could be key to new battery technologies and artificial neural synapses.

Scientists have synthesized a cathode material from iron fluoride that boosts the capacity of lithium-ion batteries.

Overcoming many challenges, technology pushes through to speed up and improve the medical industry.

Sandia’s alloy is the first to have wear resistance on par with diamonds or sapphires.

Glass fibers and ceramics add strength, but there is a downside: increased brittleness. There are also some caveats to using colorants.

A SLAC-Stanford study reveals exactly what it takes for diamond to crystallize around a “seed” cluster of atoms. The results apply to industrial processes and to what happens in clouds overhead.

Galling can damage metal-on-metal joints. Some heads-up design can reduce the problem and lead to better fastener performance.
