Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley and Oak Ridge National Laboratories have identified a chromium-cobalt-nickel alloy with the highest fracture toughness ever recorded. The material becomes stronger and more ductile at cryogenic…
Sierra Space successfully conducted a full-scale burst test of its Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) habitat, proving the structural integrity of inflatable space modules. The test demonstrated that the soft-goods…
HRL Laboratories researchers developed a technique to 3D print high-strength aluminum alloys by using nanoparticle inoculants. This method prevents hot cracking, a structural failure that previously made these alloys incompatible…
