Researchers studying the Saint-Séverin meteorite have identified tetrataenite, a rare iron-nickel alloy that could replace rare-earth elements in high-performance magnets. The discovery reveals that phosphorus acts as a catalyst, allowing…
Samsung researchers have synthesized amorphous boron nitride (a-BN), a new material with a disordered atomic structure that provides exceptional electrical insulation. This breakthrough addresses the crosstalk challenges in ultra-miniaturized semiconductors,…
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…
Google DeepMind researchers have utilized a deep learning tool called GNoME to predict the existence of 2.2 million new crystal structures, significantly expanding the catalog of known stable materials. This…
Researchers have identified a new mineral named Petrovite in the volcanic landscapes of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. This mineral features a unique molecular structure that could facilitate the development of more…
Scientists at Linköping University have successfully created goldene, a single-atom-thick sheet of gold. By using a specialized etching process to isolate the gold from a ceramic base, the team produced…
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…
Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have observed metal autonomously healing microscopic cracks for the first time. This discovery confirms a decade-old theory and could revolutionize engineering by extending the lifespan…
Researchers have identified two new minerals, elaliite and elkinstantonite, within a 15-ton meteorite discovered in Somalia. These iron-phosphorus-oxygen compounds were previously known only from synthetic laboratory experiments. The discovery provides…
