The microstructural evolution of the alloy, heated for 32 hours (left) versus 64 hours (right). (Zhang et al., Science, 2026) ...

Engineers have identified a fundamental deformation mechanism that can be leveraged to greatly enhance the fatigue properties of metals, opening the door to a new strategy for designing ...

Magnesium alloys, particularly Mg-Y-Nd-Zr systems such as WE43, have attracted significant interest for biodegradable orthopedic implants due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ...

A team of researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong University, Tianmushan Laboratory, and the National University of Singapore has pioneered a new method for crafting an ultra-strong, ductile alloy using 3D ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have found a way to simultaneously increase the strength and ductility of an alloy by ...

There was a time when aluminum was more expensive than gold. In fact, Napoleon III famously reserved aluminum cutlery for honored guests, while gold utensils were left for others. The metal’s scarcity ...

MIT researchers say they have found a more efficient way to train machine learning models that predict how complex metal alloys will behave.

New research shows small additions of nickel and yttrium can dramatically improve the performance of aluminum brazing fillers. This could be a route to stronger joints at lower processing temperatures ...
