The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is conducting innovative research on advanced materials and manufacturing technologies that will play a vital role in both civilian and military applications.
Scientists have questioned how to manufacture microdevices that cannot be produced using layering and whether it is conceivable to directly print inside a pre-existing three-dimensional material.
Inspired by the wings of dragonflies and cicadas, researchers have developed a new coating for orthopedic implants. It not only shreds harmful bacteria, but also monitors stress on the system, meaning it could warn of impending implant failure.
A research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory used X-ray beams to gain new insights into materials crucial to hydrogen production and usage.
Physicists at the Australian National University are using nanoparticles to develop new sources of light that increase the frequency of light that cameras and other technologies see by up to seven times.
