EPFL researchers have developed a new way to design complex, curved three-dimensional shapes using flat materials such as paper, aluminum sheets or plastic, combining creative thinking with a new computational algorithm.
Using nature's approach to robust structures, aerospace engineering's Christos Athanasiou has created a process that makes normally unpredictable recycled plastic reliable and strong.
A team of researchers from ITMO University, Tel Aviv University, and University of Aveiro have come up with a new way to improve the mechanical properties of spider webs.
A composite material based on polymer miscospheres covered in gold nanoparticles has been developed at ITMO University. It amplifies Raman spectroscopy signals by over 10,000 times and can be used to control the quality of engine oils and pharmaceuticals
This guide explains the gauge system, provides conversion charts for various metals—including steel, aluminum, copper, and brass—and answers common questions about gauge limitations, corrosion resistance, and industry standards.
Foam injection molding enables the production of lightweight, durable components by integrating a cellular structure within thermoplastic materials. This process is particularly advantageous for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios, thermal insulation, and impact resistance.
TPU is known for its impressive elasticity, wear resistance, and impact strength. These properties make it a go-to material for applications that require flexibility under pressure.
In a new study, researchers detail their novel approach for both detecting and controlling the motion of spins within antiferromagnets using 2D antiferromagnetic materials and tunnel junctions, which could lead to ultra-fast information transfer and communications at much higher frequencies.
Researchers from ITMO University and POSTECH in South Korea have merged a metasurface and a 2D semiconductor to produce a next-gen light-emitting element that is 1,600 times brighter than a semiconductor surface and even more durable and thinner than same-brightness analogs.
Considering powder coating for your parts but unsure what to expect? You're not alone. Choosing the right surface finish can feel overwhelming, especially when factors like gloss, texture, and durability come into play. Let's break it down so you can request exactly what you need with confidence.
