Imagine if there were a metallic device that could be transported all squished down into a compact ball, but that would automatically "bloom" out into its useful form when heated. Well, that may soon ...

When hit by a powerful shock wave, materials can change their shape – a property known as plasticity – yet keep their lattice-like atomic structure. Now scientists have used an X-ray laser to see, for ...

Handy material This model of a human hand was made using a liquid metal matrix. (Courtesy: Pu Zhang) A liquid metal lattice that can be crushed but returns to its original shape on heating has been ...

Toward a new kind of superconductivity: In the past four years scientists have discovered metals whose crystal structure mimics that of a traditional Japanese woven bamboo pattern: kagome metals. The ...

This simple parameter may be used to expedite the development of hydrogen storage materials by streamlining conventional trial-and-error material exploration ...

High-strength, lightweight metal lattice materials are being developed by Boeing. SOURCE: Architected Materials. So this involves three stories which were all on the Engineering Materials website, and ...

ATG Innovation Ltd. (Irish subsidiary of ATG Europe) is leading the industrialisation of this technology. Satellite central tube (SCT) structures, which form the structural backbone of satellites, ...
