The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Scientists at Rice University and the University of Houston have created a powerful new material by guiding bacteria to grow cellulose in aligned patterns, resulting in sheets with the strength of ...

Scientists have found a new use for AI, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise these days. This time, they used AI to design an ultra-light yet incredibly strong new material. This AI-created ...

It may not be as catchy a name as Iron Man, but in a fight you might be better off betting on Glass DNA Nanolattice Man instead. Engineers at the University of Connecticut have developed a very strong ...

ProTough+™ is an additive that enhances the strength of composite materials by improving their mechanical properties to achieve component lightweighting, which is key in manufacturing and delivery of ...

Strength, ductility and toughness are three very important, closely related material properties. The yield and ultimate strengths tell us how much stress a material can withstand, and are often used ...

In a groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, researchers Eva Pasquier and Jost Ruwoldt from RISE PFI AS in Norway have demonstrated that Kraft lignin can ...

International researcher team develops scalable aluminium alloys for the hydrogen economy. Aluminium alloys are well-known for their low weight and corrosion resistance, making them ideal candidates ...

(a) The proportion of global production for SS main grade. (b) The price fluctuations of Ni in the past 2 decades. More than 70% of the world's supply of nickel is used to make stainless steel, a cost ...
