Ferritic stainless steels are quite similar in their mechanical behavior to carbon steel.
One Minute Mentor: Hardening Ferritic Stainless Steels
Turning waste heat into electricity
A University of California, Irvine engineer invented a method for analyzing nanowires at temperatures approaching 800°F in first-ever experiments, showing the valuable role the materials could play in converting excess heat from machines and electronics into useable electricity.
Robot makes strides in sneakers
Researchers at Georgia Tech’s AMBER-Lab have now improved their DURUS robot’s movements to incorporate even more human-like heel strikes and push-offs.
Improving quantum dot nanorods
Materials researchers at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, fine-tuned a technique that enables them to apply precisely controlled silica coatings to quantum dot nanorods in one day.
