Remember the PR nightmare Samsung landed itself in when its foldable phone was released? Yeah, Apple doesn’t want any of that. This might be why the company is taking its time with its foldable phone.

Celebrating 60 years of progress in 2020, metallic glass technologies are widely used today in healthcare, biotechnology, manufacturing and aerospace industries as the material combines the strength, ...

(Nanowerk News) Oxidation can degrade the properties and functionality of metals. However, a research team co-led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently found that severely ...

Considering my job as a food writer, my kitchen is very poorly stocked when it comes to bakeware. I have limited storage space in my New York City apartment, plus I tend to concentrate on savory ...

A tension-induced transformation converts a malleable crystal–glass composite into an extremely tough alloy Making metallic glasses less brittle at room temperature could allow their use as strong, ...

Researchers explain how a unique underlying atomic structure gives Pd42.5Ni7.5Cu30P20 its excellent glass-forming ability Through multiple observation techniques like anomalous X-ray scattering, X-ray ...

Iron-based metallic glass alloys compatible with 3D printing reduce energy losses in electric motors by eliminating crystal structure friction. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Saarland University have ...
