The formation of lithium dendrites is still a mystery, but materials engineers study the conditions that enable dendrites and how to stop them. Historically, as in decades ago, rechargeable lithium ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--It's a well-known characteristic of metals that repeated bending in the same place can cause the material to weaken and eventually break; this phenomenon, known as metal fatigue, can ...

A research team led by Dr. Jeong Min Park of the Nano Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), in collaboration with Dr. Jaemin Wang and Prof. Dierk Raabe of the ...

Researchers at POSTECH and the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) have developed an AI-based analytical framework ...

Using X-ray beams and machine learning for detecting structural defects, such as pore formation, can help prevent failure of metal 3D-printed parts. Systematic computer-based material design uses ...

Three recent studies offer deeper understanding of thermodynamic behaviors with potential to impact materials engineering and energy systems. One shows how increasing elemental diversity in layered ...

Engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion. University of ...

SAN FRANCISCO — A South Korean researcher has described a new method for detecting extremely low levels of metal particles that often turn into chip defects. Excellent methods of detection exist, ...

A new study by Texas A&M University researchers has further refined the process of creating superior metal parts using laser powder bed fusion 3D printing techniques. With a combination of machine ...
