Metallurgy explains how to predict the properties, behavior and internal structure of metal so that we can use it to its maximum capabilities. One of the most important properties of metal is its ...

Metallenes are atomically thin metals, whose unique properties make them extremely promising for nanoscale applications.

UPTON, N.Y., July 25 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say a class of metals with special properties could bring faster and energy-efficient logic, memory and sensing technology. Researchers at the U.S.

Electrical conductivity: copper has the highest conductivity of the engineering metals. Silver or other elements may be added to increase strength, softening resistance or other properties without ...

What is it about the nature of metals that have made them a pillar of human civilization? The enduring luster of gold, the conductivity of copper, the strength of steel—the special properties of ...

As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...

In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and environmental factors create tiny variations in the skin's ridges and whorls, ...
