Modern mechanical carbon materials are being used in a wide variety of applications, including aircraft gear boxes, air turbine motor starters, and main shaft seals for both aircraft turbine engines and aircraft auxiliary power units (APUs).
Applying just the right amount of tension to a chain of carbon atoms can turn it from a metallic conductor to an insulator, report researchers at Rice University, Houston.
CMD Network The Computational Materials Data Network (CMD Network) was launched in 2012 to support the materials data community in its pursuit of the goals of the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and the promise of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME). Drawing on ASM’s knowledge and experience gathering, curating, and distributing materials data, CMD Network […]
