Scientists in Japan working to stretch the limits of super-elastic materials have made a significant breakthrough, demonstrating a new iron-based alloy that endures extremely high and low temperatures ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

They found that some iron alloys could form a superionic state, which would explain the observations. In a superionic iron alloy, the iron atoms form a solid lattice that holds the material in shape, ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

The effects of cycles of compression and relaxation during Earth’s early lifetime can be studied using a combination of fast ...

Vehicle engine designers are beset by conflicting demands. On the one hand, they must reduce costs as intense international competition is driving the need to cut product prices so that companies can ...

What are Biodegradable Metallic Materials? Biodegradable materials (BMs) have been a priority for temporary biomedical implants over the past twenty years. These materials, including magnesium, zinc, ...
