Diseases affecting moving organs such as the heart and lungs require dynamic imaging rather than static scans, yet limitations in current MRI technology often hinder early detection and diagnosis. Traditional MRI sensors are costly, rigid, and unable to conform closely to the body, reducing image quality and flexibility. To address this, researchers at the University […]
A sheet of twisted carbon nanotubes has revealed a long-suspected but previously unmeasured capability, as researchers at Rice University created highly ordered films of chiral nanotubes — carbon cylinders with left- or right-handed twists — that can convert the color of light at rates two to three orders of magnitude greater than conventional materials. The […]
A high-performance steel developed at MIT has come full circle, moving from success in Formula One and Baja 1000 race cars to its latest use in the 2026 electric race car built by the student-run MIT Motorsports team. The computationally designed material is now part of the university’s entry in the Formula SAE Electric competition, […]
ASM’s 2026 Class of Fellows In 1969, ASM established the Fellow of the Society honor to provide recognition to members for their distinguished contributions to materials science and engineering and to develop a broadly based forum of technical and professional leaders to serve as advisors to the society. ASM will recognize the 2026 Class of […]
