Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations ...

A research team has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into a 'transverse' thermoelectric ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy’s Critical Materials Institute (CMI) and Ames National Laboratory have improved the properties of a rare-earth-free permanent magnet material and demonstrated ...

Scientists from the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University have developed a novel approach that could revolutionize ceramic fabrication. This advancement has the potential ...

In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the trend toward miniaturization of LEDs, driven by display devices, augmented reality, virtual reality, and other emerging technologies. Due ...

Researchers improve energy density in a novel electric vehicle battery - a step toward a more cost-effective, easily recycled battery that would allow EVs to travel farther and charge faster at a low ...

In contemporary society, the demand for high-bandwidth optical communication, including mobile high-definition videos, autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, telepresence, and interactive 3D virtual ...

Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...

Reflected light is a valuable tool for studying the quality of manufactured metal parts for quality control purposes, with the nature of the surface's crystal grains affecting the patterns of returned ...
