Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Wash., have developed a novel method combining cold spray deposition and friction stir processing to produce oxide dispersion strengthened steel, providing a proof-of-concept for fabricating higher-quality materials for future fusion power plants at reduced manufacturing costs.
The specification of a material is important for the TS process. A thorough knowledge of the appropriate standards and testing procedures is necessary for appropriate comparisons between materials. These considerations should not be considered alone but in conjunction with the TS process, because this also influences the coating quality. Some of the quality-control tests that […]
The October 2024 issue of Advanced Materials & Processes magazine has an editorial focus on Nondestructive Testing and Failure Analysis.
INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, a company specializing in graphene-based neural technologies, announced the world’s first human procedure using its cortical interface during a brain tumor resection, successfully distinguishing between healthy and cancerous tissue with micrometer precision. This milestone showcases the potential of graphene-based BCI technology not only in decoding brain signals but also as a precise surgical […]
In September, Troy University officials inaugurated the Center for Materials and Manufacturing Sciences, the university’s first building dedicated solely to research. Designed by CC & Litchfield, this facility, founded in 2018 with support from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), focuses on polymers and polymer recycling. Since its inception, NIST has awarded CMMS […]
