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 ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, resulting in ...

With each passing day, the performance of aerospace systems is increasing significantly. This requires the use of advanced structural and functional materials that possess the required characteristics ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers, led by Professor Soo-Hyun Kim in the Graduate School of Semiconductors Materials and Devices Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering ...

Researchers observe metal 3D printing dislocations in real-time - tracking the printing process with X-ray diffraction.

As a US Marine Corps combat engineer serving in Iraq, Jim Monroe used MacGyver-like hacks to repair mine rollers. Meant to detonate and clear mines, these heavy studded wheels are mounted on the ...

Researchers use Argonne's APS to capture how the microstructure of metals evolves in real time during 3D printing. The findings could pave the way for advanced manufacturing of components for ...

Everything we see and use is made from materials derived from the earth, and advanced materials are essential to nearly every modern technology. Materials Science and Engineering is the broad ...

Students in Professor David Dunand’s research group are playing video games on the clock. But they aren’t slacking or procrastinating — they’re translating technical research into fun and educational ...
