Lightweight materials have become increasingly critical in the transportation manufacturing sectors, including aircraft, automobile, heavy truck, rail, ship, and defense manufacturing industries.

Current lithium-ion intercalation technology, even when fully developed, is difficult to satisfy society's increasing demand of high-energy-density power sources for electric vehicles and electronics.

Researchers from North Carolina State University and Qatar University have developed a new “high-entropy” metal alloy that has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than any other existing metal material.

Although steel has been the workhorse of the automotive industry since the 1920s, the share by weight of steel and iron in an average light vehicle is now gradually decreasing, from 68.1 per cent in ...

Storage of hydrogen is a critical enabler for the growth of hydrogen and fuel cell systems in sectors such as stationary power generation, power transmission, and mobility. Hydrogen has the greatest ...

Succeeding in electronics manufacturing requires understanding how to make the respective components as resilient as possible during their intended uses. Often, that means using alloys in the design ...
