Just as a snowflake's intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of ...

Cornell University researchers have uncovered a way to control transformations in metal solidification by adjusting alloy composition, ultimately leading to stronger, more reliable metal parts.

Chinese and Austrian researchers have developed an alloy with practically zero thermal expansion across a vast temperature range A metal alloy that barely expands over an "unprecedentedly" wide ...

However, this expansion can be a real problem for many technologies like precision instruments or spacecraft. That’s why ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. This effect is extremely undesirable for many technical applications. Now, scientists have created a new material that hardly changes in length over an ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. The Eiffel Tower, for example, is about 10 to 15 centimeters taller in ...

"It would now be fascinating to explore iron alloys under these extreme conditions and conduct similar experiments," added Balugani. "There is already significant progress being made in this area ...

SNETTISHAM, ENGLAND—Metal fragments previously thought to be part of a vessel are actually pieces of an Iron Age helmet, according to a BBC News report. Conservator Fleur Shearman of the British ...

The iron lung, conceptualized in the late 1920s, was most notably the first line of defense against polio during the epidemics that occurred between 1948 to 1955. The device saved the lives of ...

A recreation by artist Craig Williams showing the nose and eyebrow pieces that first alerted an expert that the fragments might be a helmet Fragments of copper alloy unearthed at one of Britain's ...

For the first time, they showed that a polycrystalline alloy of iron, nickel, and zirconium shows superconducting properties. Curiously, both iron zirconide and nickel zirconide are not ...

Last spring, when the sculpture — briefly titled “Steel Horse” and then “Pegasus” by the artist, but popularly known as Iron Horse — was extricated from a concrete pad in a cornfield ...
