A research team, led by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Principal Investigator, Dr. Stefano Curtarolo, Duke University, developed a computational method for creating new types of ceramics using transition metals – carbonitrides or borides – through a process called Disordered Enthalpy-Entropy Descriptor (DEED). The applications are endless, said Dr. Eric Wuchina, a research materials […]
Bruker recently announced that it has acquired Nion, a privately-held company that develops and manufactures innovative high-end scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM). Nion was the first company to introduce aberration correction for STEM instruments with ultra-high stability for highest resolution images, and Nion is the world leader in ultra-high energy and spatial resolution electron energy-loss […]
In the adrenaline-fueled rush of a set-up for their studio review, a team of students pursuing a Master of Science in Design with a concentration in Robotics and Autonomous Systems (MSD-RAS) assemble layer upon layer of ceramic bricks, securing them in place with a satisfying “clink.” And as the model got taller, the stakes got […]
TU Dresden, Germany, has developed a test scenario for the friction testing of electrically heated shape-memory alloy (SMA) wires against polymer surfaces. As alloy, Nickel-Titanium (Nitinol, NiTi) was specially selected due to its high working capacity, the good corrosion resistance and the quick actor response at low bias forces. As the materials in contact with […]
