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 ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

Scientists have shown that ultrashort optical laser pulses can trigger extremely rapid lattice vibrations in periodically ...

So-called kagome metals, named after the Japanese woven bamboo pattern their structure resembles, feature symmetrical patterns of interlaced, corner-sharing triangles. This unusual lattice geometry ...

The development of metallic hydrides with large hydrogen storage capacities will be crucial in bringing a hydrogen economy into existence. NIMS and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have discovered ...

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, ...

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 ...
