New research shows what happens inside magnetic materials at high temperatures. Chromium nitride, CrN, is a magnetic material used in industry as, among other things, a hard surface coating. It is ...

Drinking water treatment that pursues a multi-contaminant approach, tackling several pollutants at once, could prevent more than 50,000 lifetime cancer cases in the U.S., finds a new study by the ...

Nanoparticles are used in a number of critical applications in the field of biomedicine, cosmetics, optics and electronics, which were earlier not possible using the elements in their native states.

IT has been amply demonstrated that normally brittle metals exhibit substantial ductility at low temperatures when interstitial impurity-levels are extremely low. This is particularly true for ...

Currently used coating materials are very brittle, with a toughness only a little more than that of window glass. Also, previous research has shown that it is very difficult to break crystals that are ...

WASHINGTON – Drinking water treatment that pursues a multi-contaminant approach, tackling several pollutants at once, could prevent more than 50,000 lifetime cancer cases in the U.S., finds a new peer ...
