Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, ...

Designing materials that are both lightweight and exceptionally robust has always been a goal for engineers. However, ...

MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at ...

By applying machine learning techniques, engineers at MIT have created a new method for 3D printing metal alloys that produce ...

Navigating the extreme cold of deep space or handling super-chilled liquid fuels here on Earth requires materials that won't break. Most metals become brittle and fracture at such low temperatures.

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and ...

Pure aluminum (Al) is generally considered corrosion-resistant due to the protective nature of the spontaneously forming aluminum oxide passive film. This film acts as a wide bandgap insulator and ...

Manned space missions in spacecraft made of aluminium that is light yet resistant to radiation could be a step nearer. The MIAMI-2 -- Microscopes and Ion Accelerators for Materials Investigations -- ...
