Since everything is made out of something, so we thought it a perfect time for a quick discussion about material characteristics. “Inventing is the mixing of brains and materials. The more brains you use, the less materials you need.” – Charles Kettering Four Material Characteristics Stiffness/elasticity concerns the lengthening or shortening of a material under loading. […]
A paper just published in Nature by Hansoo Kim from the University of Science and Technology in South Korea demonstrates that by manipulating the structure of steel on a nano-meter scale, you can create a new steel alloy that is stronger and lighter than titanium but at a tenth the cost. It has been a […]
