New research from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Stanford University has found that palladium nanoparticles can repair atomic dislocations in their crystal ...
Materials can deform plastically by atomic-scale line defects called dislocations. Many technical applications are based on this fundamental process, such as forging, but we also rely on the power of ...
Researchers at Osaka University demonstrate a connection between the equations for the strain created by atomic dislocations in a crystalline material and a well-known formula from electromagnetism, ...

RAILWAY AGE, JANUARY 2022 ISSUE: Dangerous fatigue cracks develop in sound steel. Here’s how. Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic that ...
Breaking the long-standing assumption that intense deformation and mixing in metal processing fully randomize atomic arrangements, MIT scientists have demonstrated that metals retain subtle but stable ...
