Better metals are now possible through a novel analysis method
In a new study, researchers from Yale University (New Haven, Conn.) show that a mold about half the size of a fingernail could lead to the development of stronger, higher-performing materials for airplanes and other uses. Their novel method provides unique insight into the microstructure and properties of a metal and eliminates the limitations of more traditional analysis.
Testing metallic glass on the ISS
Researchers Saarland University (Saarbrücken, Germany), are studying metallic-glass alloys in experiments carried out on board the International Space Station (ISS). Working with the European Space Agency and the German Aerospace Center, in the fall of 2026, the team will investigate the properties of these alloys using hot, levitating droplets.
