A new breakthrough in the manufacturing of so called metallic glass, a material that is stronger than steel and titanium, could lead to a new generation of super-tough cell-phone cases and airplane ...

Crystalline alloys used in motors today lose some energy through heat, but glass-like metals could solve this engineering ...

Making a new material is one thing, explaining how you did it is another. Materials engineering Ph.D. candidate Jerry Howard excels at both. Howard developed a new “recipe” for making metallic glass ...

Glass has a lot going for it: it's easy to clean and you can see straight through it. The only problem is that it's fragile and brittle, and that means it breaks easily. That's why researchers have ...

An Apple patent application for a metallic glass process may hold the secret to the beautiful iPhone 11 Pro finish on the rear glass. The rear glass is a subtle yet lovely design feature of the ...

Remember the PR nightmare Samsung landed itself in when its foldable phone was released? Yeah, Apple doesn’t want any of that. This might be why the company is taking its time with its foldable phone.

Considering my job as a food writer, my kitchen is very poorly stocked when it comes to bakeware. I have limited storage space in my New York City apartment, plus I tend to concentrate on savory ...

(Nanowerk News) Oxidation can degrade the properties and functionality of metals. However, a research team co-led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently found that severely ...

A tension-induced transformation converts a malleable crystal–glass composite into an extremely tough alloy Making metallic glasses less brittle at room temperature could allow their use as strong, ...
