Researchers at The University of Manchester found that small temperature variations during molten metal deposition, a metal 3D-printing process, can have a significant impact on the quality of aluminum components. The study showed that carefully controlling thermal conditions during printing can reduce microscopic defects and improve the material’s grain structure, helping produce stronger, higher-quality parts […]
Colorado School of Mines students Austin Arvidson and his team developed the Floating Ultrasonic Synthesis Environment, or FUSE, a system that uses acoustic levitation, or sound waves, to suspend materials in a contact-free environment during synthesis. Designed to accelerate the development of new materials while reducing contamination and errors, the project was supported by the […]
Researchers have expanded the field of twistronics by developing a method to manufacture oxide twistronic materials at much larger scales while precisely controlling the twist angles between layered materials. Twistronics focuses on how the alignment of two-dimensional materials influences their structural and electronic properties, and this new technique could help advance research and practical applications […]
In this video, new National Engineering Policy Center analysis reveals how recycling rare-earth magnets from decommissioned British wind turbines can secure global supply chains, prevent severe environmental damage, and provide critical minerals to manufacture one million electric vehicles annually.
