Supranano engineering enhances strength and ductility of structural materials
Building on their work on the first-ever supranano magnesium alloy, a research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has demonstrated how supranano engineering can lead to higher strength and higher ductility in bulk structural materials.

Superalloys resist wear at nearly forge-level heat using new process
Finding lubricants that work at exceptionally high temperatures challenges researchers and industries alike. A Virginia Tech team may have uncovered a promising candidate by happenstance: transition metal spinel oxides formed on nickel-chromium-based superalloys.

Researchers use machine learning to ensure safe structural design of steel columns
In the quest for stronger, more resilient buildings and infrastructure, engineers are turning to innovative solutions, such as concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFST) strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). These advanced composite structures combine the robust load-bearing...

MXene-enhanced epoxy promises safer, more durable industrial applications
Two-component epoxies, which require mixing resin and curing agent before use, often suffer from issues such as mixing ratio errors, limited working times, and inconsistent curing. Additionally, they must be used immediately after mixing, leading to wasted residue.
