Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming ...

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a ...

MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at ...

A new alloy combines the best of the refractory metals with cutting-edge engineering. Even these extremely tough metals can ...

A metal alloy composed of niobium, tantalum, titanium, and hafnium has shocked materials scientists with its impressive strength and toughness at both extremely hot and cold temperatures, a ...

You may recall the old universal solvent problem: There’s an old problem in chemical solvents: a solvent that dissolves anything isn’t easy to bottle up. High-performance metallurgy faces a similar ...

Peritectic solidification involves the nucleation and growth of the primary phase, the peritectic reaction of the primary phase with the remnant liquid phase, and the microstructural evolution of the ...

Lead-free solder alloys have been around for as long as people have done soldering, with sources dating back about 5,000 years. Most of these alloys were combinations like copper-silver or silver-gold ...

Chemical & Materials Engineering Assistant Professor Yufeng Zheng will begin research this August to design novel titanium alloys with both high strength and ductility (capability of materials to bend ...

A new tungsten-based alloy can withstand unprecedented amounts of radiation without damage. Essential for extreme irradiation environments such as the interiors of magnetic fusion reactors, previously ...
