Enhancing hidden defects to strengthen metal materials

Scientists have discovered a way to use defects in crystals to create stronger materials. By organizing these imperfections into dense networks, researchers strengthened two metal alloys without changing their chemical composition. Notably, this method significantly increased both the amount of stress the metals could withstand and their resistance to gradual warping at high temperatures. These […]

New microscope developed to study material behavior

Researchers at Università Cattolica, Italy, have developed a new type of advanced microscope called wide-field coherent multidimensional microscopy, which uses a sequence of ultrashort light pulses to study the behavior of high-tech materials.
