Scientists find a new way to remove defects from heat-resistant alloys

Lab's gas atomization process has garnered the laboratory at least 16 patents over the last two decades

Engineering team uses electricity to remove dangerous metal

Surrounding silver nanoclusters with hydrogen-rich shells offers new opportunities in catalysis and opto-electronics

“Our discovery is exciting in that it provides both new fundamental understanding and new materials, and useful applications are always built on a foundation of fundamental understanding”

Materials researchers Anja-Verena Mudring and Volodymyr Smetana were the first to create and accurately characterize the compound

X-ray study at Berkeley Lab explores atomic structure of tiny traps for heavy metals

Because such devices are made of common scrap metal, they would be inexpensive and could help shift some of the energy storage burden from a centralized model to a localized one, the researchers say

Studies show that corrosion costs the U.S. economy approximately $451 billion a year

Metals are present in a wide range of habitats, with a large number of land sites in the UK remaining contaminated since the industrial revolution
