When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...

Microstructural analysis of this forged iron structure revealed an extraordinary convergence of properties that resulted in the metal’s resistance to corrosion. Furthermore, the hammering did ...

Pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs) are revolutionizing construction by combining strength, speed, and efficiency. These advanced systems reduce material waste and offer lightweight frameworks ...

Metal nanoparticles are nanoscale structures composed of metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and copper. These particles typically range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers and exhibit unique physical ...

Whether applied as cladding to steel or timber frame structures or to structures built by traditional means, sheet metal offers an array of advantages as a building material, thanks to its low ...

The metal ions form nodes that bind the arms of the linkers together to form a repeating, cage-like structure. Due to this hollow structure, MOFs have an extraordinarily large internal surface area.

Just as a snowflake's intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of ...
