Researchers recently discovered that the strength of the magnetic field required to elicit a particular quantum mechanical process corresponds to the temperature of the material. Based on this finding ...

In the field of plastic processing, melt viscosity and melt strength are two crucial yet often confused core parameters. They ...

(a) The workflow contains three parts: ML model selection to calculate the expected improvement (EI) values of the target properties for a given alloy; the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm ...

A groundbreaking new material bends the rules of physics by combining surprising strength with impressive stretch. Scientists ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

On the contrary, carrying out a hardness test enables strength-based comparisons of materials using simplified sample shapes such as rods or flats. The UMT has different types of indenters including a ...

When it comes to ceramics, many people's first reaction is that they are fragile and prone to breakage, but silicon carbide ceramic completely breaks this inherent perception. As an advanced ceramic ...

A study conducted at Columbia University has revealed that even when stitched together from much smaller fragments, large sheets of graphene still retain much of their mechanical properties. The ...

Today, materials scientist Peter Mullner answers a child’s question about magnets: ‘What are magnets made of, and how do they work?’ ...

Researchers recently discovered that the strength of the magnetic field required to elicit a particular quantum mechanical process, such as photoluminescence and the ability to control spin states ...
