Strong, lightweight materials that can tolerate very high temperatures have the potential to improve existing technologies, pave the way for the creation of novel biomedical imaging or hydrogen storage applications, or even usher in the next generation of spacecraft. To do this, researchers at Rice University working with Angel Martí’s lab have discovered a novel […]
Confluent Medical Technologies (Confluent) announced that it has partnered with ATI to invest more than $50 million over the next several years in ATI’s Nitinol melt and materials conversion infrastructure. With this significant investment, which will more than triple ATI’s melt capacity for medical Nitinol, Confluent will become ATI’s fulfillment partner and provide a suite […]
A research team from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an organic–inorganic hybrid superamphiphobic coating with integrated functionalities of liquid repellency, self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, and anti-icing.
Scientists at the South China University of Technology have created a new porous ceramic that is ultrastrong at elevated temperatures and simultaneously high thermal insulating, two properties needed for making the shell of hypersonic aircraft.
The US Navy is seeking to expand its use of cold spray technology to repair and maintain its platforms and improve fleet readiness.
