D printing has transformed the miniature wargaming and model making industries, but not in the ways that most people ...

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

Abstract: In this letter, we propose a transparent and rollable electromagnetic wave-absorbing film that employs screen printing and metal mesh technologies. Despite the film being very thin, it ...

A new 3D-printed aluminum alloy is stronger than traditional aluminum, due to a key recipe that, when printed, produces aluminum (illustrated in brown) with nanometer scale precipitates (in light blue ...

Abstract: Liquid metal is a room-temperature liquid conductor, which has nontoxic and highly conductive properties. Flexible sensors made of liquid metal and flexible substrates have been widely used ...

Metallurgists have long treated iron in aluminum like a curse. A tiny trace could render the prized lightweight metal brittle, condemning it to structural weakness and corrosion. A team from Nagoya ...

Microscope image showing the layered structure of a new 3D-printed aluminum alloy. The wave-like patterns are “melt pools,” traces left by the laser as it melted metal powder layer by layer. The small ...

Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in engines, turbines, and other applications where parts must stay strong ...
