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…
MIT chemical engineers have created a new material called 2DPA-1, a two-dimensional polymer that is stronger than steel but as light as plastic. This breakthrough overcomes decades of theoretical hurdles…
Researchers at North Carolina State University have created "glassy gels," a new class of materials that are over 50% liquid yet as strong as hard plastics. These materials can stretch…
