Hosted by the ASM Utah Chapter, 246 students participated in the ASM Mini-Materials Camp held during MS&T 2016 at Salt Lake Palace on October 25 and 26.
MS&T 2016 Features Mini-Materials Camp
Wrinkles and crumples boost metal oxides
Researchers at Brown University, Providence, R.I., found a new method for making ultrathin metal-oxide sheets containing intricate wrinkle and crumple patterns. The textured metal-oxide films have better performance when used as photocatalysts and as battery electrodes.
Predicting how bonds break
Scientists at the University of Chicago, New York University, and Leiden University could eventually help create materials that resist breaking or crack in a predictable fashion.
Scooters take you for a ride (with video)
In the spring, more than 100 visitors took rides on an autonomous mobility scooter in a trial of software designed by researchers from MIT and colleagues in Singapore.
Message from the President: Plan to Attend the North American Cold Spray Conference 2016!
I recently had the pleasure of spending a couple days in Salt Lake City for MS&T 2016. As always, ASM’s flagship event was hugely successful and once again provided a great opportunity to connect with colleagues from TSS and all of the affiliate societies.
