Scientists have long known that impurities and flaws in a metal’s crystal structure can lower the material’s melting point. In an unexpected twist, an international research team has dramatically ...
The team also made use of artificial intelligence (AI) neural networks to track individual atoms. This enabled them to analyze thousands of frames, each showing every atom’s position, which would be ...
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals, 3,422 degrees Celsius. This makes the material ideal for use at high temperatures in e.g. space rocket nozzles, heating elements of ...
Aluminum and magnesium are among the “many” metals that melt at lower temperatures under extremely high pressure. The results came from a quantum computer simulation, but model real materials ...
It takes a lot to melt metal — you generally need some sort of heavy-duty torch and a whole lot of time to spare. But if you’re familiar with the application of electrical energy and have a basic ...
Most robots are designed for a specific job, and aren’t very adaptable. But engineers at Virginia Tech have now developed a soft robot that can morph into a range of shapes, such as driving, flying or ...
Video footage posted on Facebook appears to show a black stone causing a nail to melt. But is it real? Well, probably not. The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to ...
BMW Group brands 3D-print metal & plastic parts for some exclusive cars. Additive Manufacturing Campus near Munich features 50 metal & polymer printers. High cost of Laser Beam Melting means ...
