The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

A professor has a lesson in one of his mechanical engineering courses on how brittle materials like calcium carbonate behave under stress. In it, he takes a piece of chalk composed of the compound and ...

Scientists at Caltech have figured out how to precisely engineer tiny three-dimensional (3D) metallic pieces with nanoscale ...

One of the biggest problems facing modern microelectronics is that computer chips can no longer be made arbitrarily smaller and more efficient. Materials used to date, such as copper, are reaching ...

In late 2025, a group of researchers that included Maria Emfietzoglou, MD, and Victor S.M.C. Correa, MD, published a paper titled, “Inner Plexiform Layer Substrata Are Discernible with Commercial OCT ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

Scientists at Caltech have developed a revolutionary technique that enables the creation of metallic objects with precisely specified shapes and compositions, allowing unprecedented control over metal ...
