There’s a method to modeling cracking in brittle materials. The strength of teeth is told on the scale of millimeters. Porcelain smiles are kind of like ceramics — except that while china plates ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have figured out how to capture and predict the strength of metallic materials subjected to cycling loading, or fatigue strength, in a matter ...

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a new material that combines the strength of steel and the lightness of plastic. Doctor Michael Strano, a ...

Graphene is the strongest material in the world, according to new experiments done by researchers at Columbia University in the US. The secret to the material’s extraordinary strength, says the team, ...

Few scientific fields display more breadth and depth than nuclear materials—a topic that deals with almost everything that touches on nuclear reactions. Scientists coming from many diverse disciplines ...
