Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...

This article discusses examples of nanomaterials reinforced with CNTs, the effects on the properties of these materials due to reinforcement, and their industrial applications. CNTs are composed of ...

In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, construction materials such as steel—a necessary material for use in traditional concrete applications—have been significantly impacted by price increases ...

Hydrogels have shown significant potential in everything from wound dressings to soft robots, but their applications have been limited from their lack of toughness – until now. A team of scientists at ...

Hanyang University announced that Professor Kim Seong-hun of Hanyang University and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Yoon Seok-jin), Dr. Kim Jae-woo of Solutions to ...

The old cliché that looks can be deceiving definitely comes to mind when considering a new material developed by researchers from the Hokkaido University. It looks soft and squishy — which it is — but ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...

SGL Group, The Carbon Company, has developed a new type of carbon fiber reinforced graphite material designed for industrial heat treatment applications. The product is carbon fiber reinforced carbon ...

Researchers have created a new type of carbon fiber reinforced material that is as strong and light as traditionally used materials, but can be repeatedly healed with heat, reversing any fatigue ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have created a flexible, eco-friendly material that’s five-times stronger than carbon steel. The “fiber-reinforced soft composite” made by combining ...
