In a first, researchers have developed a new copper alloy that's one of the most resilient copper-based materials ever made.

So, while magnesium remains one of the most abundant elements on the planet, we’re readily running out of processed metal that we can use in manufacturing. The magnesium-alloy body of a Nikon d850.

To create them, the process of modifying the steel surface with carbon, nitrogen, and alloy elements needs to be optimized. To understand the interactions between elements in steel, a systematic ...

Lead halide perovskite solar cells (LHPSCs) have rapidly gained prominence in the field of photovoltaics, boasting impressive ...

and one of the states is "solid solution", in which the elements are mixed at the atomic level. On the other hand, many combinations do not mix and do not form a solid-solution alloy. The research ...

It is the principle strengthening element in carbon steels and low-alloy steels. Atomic number 6, atomic weight 12.01115. Manganese (Mn): Manganese is a brittle, metallic element that exists in ...

In this research project, the interactions of light elements, which can improve or degrade the properties of steels significantly by a small addition, with nanostructures of iron are studied. By ...

Many pure metals are too soft for many uses. They can be made harder by adding another element to the pure metal, so forming an alloy. This explains why an alloy often has more uses than the pure ...
