It is possible that broken bones will in the near future be fixed using metallic glass. Materials researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an alloy that could herald a new generation of biodegradable bone implants. Their results have been published in the online edition of Nature Materials.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing ways to harden the microchips themselves against damage from various types of cosmic radiation. With funding from NASA and other sponsors, a Georgia Tech team is investigating the use of silicon-germanium (SiGe) to create microelectronic devices that are intrinsically resistant to space-particle bombardment.
Researchers at Purdue's Birck Nanotechnology Center are collaborating with Indian colleagues at the Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research and General Electric Co.'s John F. Welch India Technology Center to launch a center focused on how advancements in nanomaterials can address growing energy needs.
ISO 6892-1:2009, the latest International Standard (ISO 6892-1:2009) for testing metals (Metallic materials -- Tensile testing -- Part 1: Method of test at room temperature) has been released. It can be downloaded from t...
A team of engineers and artists working at the University of Washington's Solheim Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory has developed a way to create glass objects using a conventional 3-D printer. The technique allows a ne...
The SGL Group is a leading manufacturer of carbon products. SGL’s aim in opening a new research and development department in Meitingen, near Augsburg, Germany is to boost its innovative capacity. The new R&D centre co-ordinates all the SGL Group’s development activities worldwide and employs Zwick testing machines for mechanical testing of materials and components.
ELGA Process Water is helping the STFC Daresbury Laboratory’s Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) to provide cutting edge research facilities. Particle accelerators depend on “radio frequency cavities” which add energy to accelerate electrons up to light speed, and ASTeC has a cavity processing facility.
Tiny objects known as nanoparticles are often heralded as holding great potential for future applications in electronics, medicine and other areas. The properties of nanoparticles depend on their size and structure. Now ...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have been able to confirm the production of the superheavy element 114, ten years after a group in Russia, at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, first claimed to have made it. The search for 114 has long been a key part of the quest for nuclear science's hoped-for Island of Stability.
A sensitive new Stanford-developed disposable chip detects low concentrations of the explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) and a close chemical cousin of the dreaded toxic nerve agent sarin in water samples. The research appears online this week in the journal ACS Nano.
