A new technique from Purdue University is designed to improve missiles, engines and drinking glasses made from ceramic materials. (Stock photo) Something as simple as an electric field could soon make ...

At the same time, it’s also more ductile, countering a common trade-off. “This unusual microstructure’s atomic rearrangement gives rise to ultrahigh strength as well as enhanced ductility, which is ...

A team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory and Texas A&M University developed a new way to predict metal ductility. This quantum-mechanics-based approach fills a need for an inexpensive, ...

A research team co-led by materials scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently discovered a new mechanism to increase the strength and ductility of a high-entropy alloy, two ...

Developing a lightweight material that is both strong and highly ductile has been regarded as a long-desired goal in the field of structural materials, but these properties are generally mutually ...

New materials are still abundant in many research now, and a recent team of scientists created a 3D printed material that exceeds the most durable and ductile materials known to the world. A ...

Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel. Not only is the metal exceptionally strong and ...

Titanium is strong and light, with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. But giving it a good balance of strength and ductility is difficult and expensive. That’s why titanium is used ...

Dimpling has become the preferred first step in transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimen preparation for three reasons. Firstly, it significantly reduces the time needed for final thinning to ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...
