Alloys traditionally consist of two or more metallic elements, with secondary elements enhancing the properties of a primary ...

The researchers tested their new approach on two groups of metals: five high-melting-point metals (vanadium, molybdenum, ...

A new efficient alloy-based catalyst developed for improved hydrogen production through electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen, can pave the path towards a solution for clean energy production ...

large recovery strain and temperature-independent modulus is desired but challenging. Here, the authors achieve these properties in a high-entropy alloy with multi-scale heterogeneities.

Skoltech and MIPT researchers have sped up the search for high-performance metal alloys for the aerospace industry, ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. The Eiffel Tower, for example, is about 10 to 15 centimeters taller in ...

The study uncovers the invar effect, enabling the creation of a pyrochlore magnet with unprecedented thermal expansion ...

One thing that will never go out of style is the class and elegance of a pearl. To attempt to recreate the rare beauty of the pearl, a low-cost alternative is needed to keep up with the demand of cons ...

Chinese and Austrian researchers have developed an alloy with practically zero thermal expansion across a vast temperature range A metal alloy that barely expands over an "unprecedentedly" wide ...

However, this expansion can be a real problem for many technologies like precision instruments or spacecraft. That’s why ...

Through a multi-university collaboration, researchers have discovered a new, solid lubricating mechanism that can reduce friction in machinery at extremely high temperatures, well beyond the breakdown ...
