How can studying metals manufacturing lead to longer-lasting batteries and lighter vehicles? It all comes down to physics. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are investigating ...

Dr Gao Shubo (left), a research fellow from NTU Singapore, and Dr Li Zhi, a scientist from Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the first and second authors respectively of a study ...

Researchers have found a way to "redesign" metals by stabilising polarisation at the atomic level— previously impossible for ...

A new theory explains the unusual behavior of strange metals, considered one of the greatest open challenges in condensed matter physics. The theory is based on two properties of strange metals. First ...

University of Minnesota researchers have demonstrated that metals can be tuned at the atomic level by manipulating polarization effects at material interfaces. By adjusting ruthenium dioxide film ...

Metallic materials – metals and metal alloys – have a very large spectrum of properties. In addition to the two characteristic features of structure and function, a difference is also made between ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Over the past few decades, scientists have discovered that combining multiple metal elements into a single material can give rise to extraordinary new properties and functions.

Researchers determined exactly what happens as crystal grains in metals form during an extreme deformation process, at the tiniest scales, down to a few nanometers across. The findings could lead to ...
