How can studying metals manufacturing lead to longer-lasting batteries and lighter vehicles? It all comes down to physics. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are investigating ...

Using robots and click chemistry, scientists built potential active ingredients for future antibiotics that contain metal.

Last month, Brown professor of physics James Valles and a group of collaborators from various Chinese research institutions published a study looking at a class of materials that do not follow ...

Researchers determined exactly what happens as crystal grains in metals form during an extreme deformation process, at the tiniest scales, down to a few nanometers across. The findings could lead to ...

"Grinding Ferrous Metals" provides an in-depth overview of the considerations involved with grinding various ferrous metal workpiece materials. Ferrous metals’ properties vary widely. This class ...

Electrical conductivity: copper has the highest conductivity of the engineering metals. Silver or other elements may be added to increase strength, softening resistance or other properties without ...

Q: Very simply, what are metals? Rick Vinci: Metals are elements. They are made up of single kinds of atoms. Most of the elements on the Periodic Table are metals, even though we don't think of them ...
