Nanoindentation testing is a high-precision indentation test technique that has advantages for nondestructive testing. However, researchers found that when testing the same sample with different Berkovich indenters, inconsistency still arises even if the indenters are regularly calibrated. This inconsistency poses challenges in accurately testing material hardness and comparing data from different laboratories.
Kennametal received a 2023 R&D 100 Award for its additively manufactured toolholder developed for machining large engine and transmission housings.
University of Missouri researchers are using a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation to launch a doctoral training program for future material scientists and engineers.
Rutgers scientists have devised a highly accurate method for creating coatings of biologically active materials for a variety of medical products. Such a technique could pave the way for a new era of transdermal medication, including shot-free vaccinations, the researchers said.
Brookhaven Lab researchers and collaborators build structures from 2D materials and study how energy and charge move between layers for future devices
