Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy ...

A research team led by NIMS has, for the first time, produced nanoscale images of two key features in an ultra-thin material: ...

Composite materials, notably those reinforced with carbon or glass fibres, are increasingly utilised in engineering applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. However, ...

Particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) based on aluminium alloys are used in automotive industry because of their low cost and improved mechanical properties at high temperature.

In spite of their interesting properties, a principal barrier to the widespread use of nanostructured materials has been cost. Composed of sub-micron sized grains, or crystals, nanostructured ...

Materials with unique metallurgical properties — such as titanium, tool steels, stainless steels, hardened steels and other superalloys — were developed to meet the demands of extreme applications.

Imagine you’re a materials scientist and your job is to discover a new material, a combination of atoms no one has ever made. Maybe you’re looking for a metal-organic framework (MOF). They have a lot ...
