Printable electronics are created by spraying or printing inks containing conductive organic molecules onto a surface. The process is fast and much less…
Scientists have for the first time visualised the transformation of powder mixtures into molten glass. A better understanding of this process will make it…

U of A electrical engineering researcher Zubin Jacob is the co-lead author on a study of the behaviour of photons flowing through metamaterials designed to…
It can be used, wherever metals are exposed to strong weather conditions, aggressive gases, salty media, extensive wear and tear or high pressure. From 23 to…
The new material is suitable for the coating of metals and metal alloys, such as steel, aluminium or magnesium. From 23 to 27 April 2012, the researchers from…
In corrosive, high-temperature environments, metals quickly lose their elasticity. Beyond certain temperatures the material fails and its properties are…
During the casting process, pores and miniscule cracks can form that in the worst case may cause a blade to break. Now these massive components can be…
Sooner than later, robots may have the ability to “feel.” In a paper published online March 26 in Advanced Functional Materials, a team of researchers from the…
Reactor operators need advanced cladding materials, which are the alloys that create the outer layer of nuclear fuel rods to keep them separate from the…
In a paper published in Advanced Materials, a team led by Amit Naskar of the Materials Science and Technology Division outlined a method that allows not only…
Beginning with an investigation into the properties of various types of indigenous woods, today this has grown into a research area with many branches – from…
Thus, the wire remains intact even when bent. Only when the copper grains are smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter, the properties change and therefore…
In the ZIM research project KF2136709HGO, researchers from the internationally renowned Hohenstein Institute in Bönnigheim worked with Kelheim Fibres, one of…
“This is the first experiment where we can directly see local structures in three dimensions at atomic-scale resolution — that's never been done before,” said…
The burgeoning use of metamaterials in the field of optics does not rely on the limited set of materials found in nature, but rather man-made constructs that…
