Scientists have developed a powerful new computational method that could accelerate the search for next-generation materials capable of turning sunlight into useful chemical energy. The work focuses ...
Thixotropy is a lesser-known but crucial material property in modern manufacturing. Derived from the Greek words thixis (touch) and tropos (turning), it refers to materials that temporarily lose ...
Scientists at EPFL in Switzerland have found a way to grow dense metal structures inside a simple water-based gel, producing parts that can withstand 20 times more pressure than those made with ...
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 ...
Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic loading, ...
SpeedCore slashed 40% off the construction schedule for the 850-ft-tall Rainier Square Tower in Seattle, according to the structural engineer. Structural engineers interested in a novel high-rise ...
In 2009, the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) directed AltaLink L.P. and EPCOR Distribution & Transmission Inc. to prepare a facility application for a system reinforcement transmission project ...
