When engineers want to make a metal stronger, one of the most reliable strategies is to use smaller grains—the microscopic ...

Supersonic experiments are forcing physicists to rewrite a rule of thumb that has guided metal design for roughly 70 years, ...

Nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co)-based superalloys are leading candidates for advanced turbine disks; however, their strength relies ...

Every material can bend and break. Through nearly a century’s worth of research, scientists have had a pretty good understanding of how and why. But, according to new findings from Drexel University ...

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 ...
