A research team at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering, Evanston, Ill., has investigated the behavior of silver nanowires under cyclic loading to advance the understanding of how they might function in flexible electronics.
Oxford Instruments, England, announces that it has signed an agreement with one of the largest semiconductor companies in Europe to supply multiple failure analysis systems.
Compact Fusion Building on more than 60 years of fusion research, engineers at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works are developing a compact nuclear fusion reactor concept. It is based on using a high fraction of magnetic field pressure, which enables making devices only a tenth the size of previous concepts such as the ITER. This […]

A paper recently published in International Materials Reviews provides an insightful look at materials informatics and how it is being employed to overcome obstacles in computational materials engineering. “Data science and cyberinfrastructure: Critical enablers for accelerated development of hierarchical materials,” by Surya R. Kalidindi of the Georgia Institute of Technology, also identifies specific areas of research that offer the most promise based on the success of earlier work.
