Researchers have uncovered a remarkable metal alloy that won t crack at extreme temperatures due to kinking, or bending, of crystals in the alloy at the atomic level. Unlike most materials, the new ...

The first time that materials scientist Brian Cantor took a stab at mixing a lot of different elements together was in 1980. Then a lecturer at the University of Sussex, Cantor wondered why ...

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a long time the tradeoffs seemed unavoidable. Push strength too far and a ...

A metallic alloy of chromium, cobalt, and nickel is over 100 times tougher than graphene and gets even more resistant to damage at extremely low temperatures. When you purchase through links on our ...

A group of researchers has discovered that a special metallic alloy consisting of chromium, cobalt, and nickel is the toughest material on Earth. Based on experiments and tests, as well as findings ...

A team of engineers at RMIT University has developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed titanium alloy that s stronger, more ductile, and nearly 30% cheaper to produce than the traditional standard. By ...

Alloy steel is the backbone of hundreds, if not thousands, of industrial processes and is essential across industries, from manufacturing to aerospace and defense. As with many materials, the steel ...
