In the Arizona desert, a lab accident more than a decade ago set in motion the development of a building material that could ...

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 ...

University of Toronto researchers create biochar from wood as strong as mild steel, redefining sustainable materials.

Colorized scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) image showing a Cu3Li precipitate in the Cu-Ta-Li alloy. The orange-colored features are primarily Cu atoms in the alloy matrix, while the ...

“For the given density, our material is the strongest known,” Seok-Woo Lee, a materials scientist at the University of Connecticut and coauthor of a resulting study published in the journal Cell ...

Researchers have used machine learning to design nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the lightness of Styrofoam. The team describes how they made nanomaterials with ...

A research team from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the University of Hong Kong's LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) has successfully developed a novel elastic calcium phosphate ...

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 ...

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 ...
