A new alloy combines the best of the refractory metals with cutting-edge engineering. Even these extremely tough metals can ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

(Nanowerk News) For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works ...
