Tiny metal snowflakes demonstrate new nanoscale manufacturing methods

Researchers in New Zealand and Australia have grown tiny metal snowflakes, cubes, rods and other shapes. The nanocrystals form like snow out of a liquid metal, demonstrated an intriguing new potential method for manufacturing nanoscale structures.Conti… Continue reading Tiny metal snowflakes demonstrate new nanoscale manufacturing methods

New titanium alloy has highest specific strength of any 3D-printed metal

Engineers at Monash University have developed a new 3D-printable titanium alloy with a unique microstructure that makes it ultra-strong. Not only is it stronger than most other forms of titanium, but it has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any 3… Continue reading New titanium alloy has highest specific strength of any 3D-printed metal

“Brick toaster” aims to cut global CO2 emissions by 15% in 15 years

A quarter of humanity’s carbon emissions come from industrial energy use – and a huge portion of that energy goes into creating heat for various processes. And right there lies a slam-dunk decarbonization opportunity that’ll pay for itself incredibly q… Continue reading “Brick toaster” aims to cut global CO2 emissions by 15% in 15 years

Powerful new adhesive stays strong from freezing to boiling temperatures

Researchers from China have developed a powerful new adhesive that grips strongly in extreme temperatures, from the deep freeze of liquid nitrogen to the sweltering heat of an oven. Better yet, it can be broken back down into its component parts and re… Continue reading Powerful new adhesive stays strong from freezing to boiling temperatures

EPFL’s super-fast 3D-printing technique makes resin objects in seconds

Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that’s about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take more like 10 minutes thanks to photocurable resins.Con… Continue reading EPFL’s super-fast 3D-printing technique makes resin objects in seconds

“Catalytic condenser” lets cheap metals act like rare, expensive ones

It’s an unfortunate truth that many important chemical reactions require rare and expensive metals as catalysts. But now, scientists have developed a device that actively tweaks plain old aluminum to make it behave like other metals on the fly.Continue… Continue reading “Catalytic condenser” lets cheap metals act like rare, expensive ones
