Researchers from the CEA's Nuclear Energy Division have, for the first time, been able to make a quantitative prediction of the evolution of radiation-induced defects in a structural material. The ...

The School of Physics, Shandong University, has shown that the coercivity mechanism of HDDR Nd-Fe-B permanent magnetic alloy is greatly related to its microstructure defect at the grain boundary. The ...

Micro injection molding has become a cornerstone for mass-producing microfluidic devices, yet demolding defects and mold wear remain persistent challenges. This study introduces a nickel mold ...

Microstructure of the AM NTD-Al alloy. (A) μ-CT analysis showing the spatial and size distribution of printing defects; the largest defect was 73 µm, only about 1/3 of the size of defects in AM ...

In the world of materials, the phrase “too big to fail” does not apply. According to the well known “size effect,” defects tend to arise in materials as they are synthesized in the lab. As the defects ...

New nickel-PTFE nanocomposite mold integrates lubricating particles directly into the matrix, achieving over 1,500 defect-free molding cycles without coatings for microfluidic devices. (Nanowerk News) ...

Sometimes, in creating an alloy out of multiple metals, defects and structural instability can occur in the material. Now, researchers are harnessing those imperfections to make the material stronger ...

HOUSTON, Jan. 3 (UPI) --Calcium silicate hydrate, or C-S-H, accounts for the strength of cement and cement-based materials. It is the component of cement paste that holds concrete together.
