Grace Sun, a junior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Kentucky, earned the top prize at the 2024 Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the Materials Science category. Her entry, “Novel Chemical Doping Strategy to Enhance N-Type Organic Electrochemical Transistors,”researches building a better organic electrochemical transistor that she hopes will be used […]
Aerospace engineers at the University of Central Florida are drawing global attention from around the world for their successful experiments in hypersonic propulsion. Their work would lead to safe and stabile hypersonic air travel in the future—that could fly passengers from Tampa to Los Angeles in a matter of minutes. Courtesy of FOX 13 Tampa […]
Scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, Calif., delved into the mysterious world of pitting corrosion in additively manufactured (3D-printed) stainless steel 316L in seawater. Stainless steel 316L is a popular choice for marine applications due to its excellent combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This holds even more true after 3D printing, but even this resilient material isn’t immune to the scourge of pitting corrosion. The LLNL team used transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to do a deep-dive microscopy study to figure out what could potentially be responsible for corrosion.
