Under the Arctic Ice
Ice-loving scientists cut through 10-ft thick ice in the Arctic and then dived into the water to make a video of the world beneath the ice.
Additive-manufactured components printed via melting metal alloy filaments
3D MakerJet Inc., Orlando, Fla., announces that, after a year and a half in research and development, functioning prototypes of metal components made via melting metal alloy filaments, including copper, have successfully met industry standards.
Lasers enable secure joining of metal and plastic
The Technical University of Munich reports that its engineers are optimizing processes to securely fuse metals and thermoplastics by first texturing the metal surface with a laser beam, producing tiny hollows, then applying heat.
Shape memory Nitinol alloys designed to cool refrigerators
Saarland University, Germany, reports that its engineers are using shape memory alloys to develop a new method of cooling in which heat and cold are transferred by a nickel-titanium alloy.
