Ultralight vehicle (ULV) is the U.S. Army’s latest “research prototype.” It is a hybrid tactical vehicle that targets safety, fuel-efficiency, and versatility. Using commercial technologies, it took only 16 months from design to build last year.
Chemists at Rice University, Houston, found an easy and inexpensive way to create flexible films from molybdenum disulfide, a versatile chemical compound with edges that are highly efficient catalysts.
For much the same reason LCD televisions offer eye-popping performance, a thermomagnetic processing method developed at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory can advance the performance of polymers.
How to Make Gold Pieces by Direct Metal Laser Sintering This video animation shows the laser-sintering additive manufacturing process inside the EOS Precious M 080, where M stands for the precious metals gold, silver, or platinum. The system allows tool-free manufacturing of high-quality metal parts directly from CAD data. The Precious M 080 builds the […]
