Nikhil Bajaj, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering, studies nonlinear systems that shift behavior once a threshold is crossed—phenomena seen across disciplines in devices that rely on bifurcation to enhance sensitivity and performance. He has received a $649,684 National Science Foundation CAREER Award […]
Physicists at UC Santa Cruz and partner institutions in California and New Mexico have developed a new detection system designed to improve next-generation particle accelerators, enabling more precise studies of fundamental biological and chemical processes and supporting advances in materials science and energy research. The effort, led by the Advanced Accelerator Diagnostics Collaboration, which includes […]
Affiliate Committees Should you be interested in a particular technical field, ASM offers affiliate society membership to provide you with deeper, more focused information-sharing resources. You’ll be connected to the highly specialized events, publications, and expertise you need. Within the boards and committees of these ASM Affiliate Societies, member needs are shaped into initiatives that […]

Explore all of the opportunities that are available through the ASM committee infrastructure Objectives and Responsibilities ASM International committees and councils capture key directional shifts in member needs and translate […]
A UCLA-led study shows that adding graphene oxide, a carbon-based nanomaterial, to cement mixtures can produce stronger, more durable concrete, with performance driven more by even distribution than by quantity. Researchers found that ultrasonic treatment improves dispersion and delivers early strength gains at lower dosages, while controlled use of polymer surfactants helps enhance long-term strength […]
