CAMBRIDGE, MA -- High-tech metal alloys are widely used in important materials such as the cladding that protects the fuel inside a nuclear reactor. But even the best alloys degrade over time, victims ...

Spintronics devices will be key to realizing faster and more energy-efficient computers. To give us a better understanding of ...

Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of metallic materials, and their arrangement and distribution determine the ...

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 ...
