A group of researchers has discovered that a special metallic alloy consisting of chromium, cobalt, and nickel is the toughest material on Earth. Based on experiments and tests, as well as findings ...

In 1982, materials scientist Dan Shechtman observed an unusual tenfold symmetry in an aluminum-manganese alloy, defying the ...

A medium-entropy refractory alloy generally has favorable mechanical properties, making it applicable in fields such as aerospace, defense, energy conversion and manufacturing. However, almost all ...

The most significant advances in human civilization are marked by the progression of the materials that humans use. The Stone Age gave way to the Bronze Age, which in turn gave way to the Iron Age.

Chemical & Materials Engineering Assistant Professor Yufeng Zheng will begin research this August to design novel titanium alloys with both high strength and ductility (capability of materials to bend ...

You may recall the old universal solvent problem: There’s an old problem in chemical solvents: a solvent that dissolves anything isn’t easy to bottle up. High-performance metallurgy faces a similar ...
