How can studying metals manufacturing lead to longer-lasting batteries and lighter vehicles? It all comes down to physics. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are investigating ...

The periodic table of elements, all 111 of them, just got a little competition. A new discovery by a University of Missouri-Columbia research team, published in Angewandte Chemie allows scientists to ...

A new theory explains the unusual behavior of strange metals, considered one of the greatest open challenges in condensed matter physics. The theory is based on two properties of strange metals. First ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Over the past few decades, scientists have discovered that combining multiple metal elements into a single material can give rise to extraordinary new properties and functions.

Researchers have proposed a theory-based approach to characterize a class of metals that possess exotic electronic properties that could help scientists find other, similarly-endowed materials.

Researchers determined exactly what happens as crystal grains in metals form during an extreme deformation process, at the tiniest scales, down to a few nanometers across. The findings could lead to ...
