A newly developed crystal, referred to as a quasicrystal, has been discovered to strength metals that are used for 3D ...

The electronic configuration of Aluminum is (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 1, and it has an atomic radius of 0.143 nm. At room temperature Aluminum has the face-centered-cubic crystal structure with a basis of one ...

The distribution of substitutional aluminum atoms within the zeolite ... soft X-ray diffraction—a powerful tool for studying ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

NIST researchers have found that non-repeating quasicrystals create defects in 3D printed aluminum that strengthen the metal.

Their crystalline structure allows them to be 'worked' to make them stronger. Mark Miodownik describes the advantages that metal had over earlier substances used by humans such as rock and bone ...
