Modeling the Breaking Points of Metallic Glasses
November 26, 2012 — Metallic glass alloys (or liquid metals) are three times stronger than the best industrial steel, but can be molded into complex shapes with the same ease as plastic. These materials are highly ... > full story -
Clues to Cause of Hydrogen Embrittlement in Metals: Findings Could Guide Design of New Embrittlement-Resistant Materials
November 19, 2012 — Hydrogen can easily dissolve and migrate within metals to make these otherwise ductile materials brittle and more prone to failures. Now, researchers have shown that the physics of hydrogen ... > full story -
New Injectable Gels Toughen Up After Entering the Body
November 15, 2012 — Chemical engineers have now designed an injectable gel that responds to the body's high temperature by forming a reinforcing network that makes the gel much more durable, allowing it to function over ... > full story -
Technology Harvests Energy from Railroad Train Vibrations
