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 ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process ...

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 ...

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In one form of additive manufacturing, complex metal parts are built one ultra-thin layer at a time — similar to frosting a cake, but with far greater precision and ...

Scientists at Caltech have developed a revolutionary technique that enables the creation of metallic objects with precisely specified shapes and compositions, allowing unprecedented control over metal ...

(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 ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form 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 ...
