Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

Another approach to shaping metal is thermal processing. Instead of physically cutting or deforming the material, these ...

New method detects magnetic signals in metal that make it possible to predict fractures before they occur and prevent critical failures.

A groundbreaking new method promises to reshape the way we manufacture nanoscale electronic components. It could offer a faster, cheaper, and more reliable alternative to traditional chip-making ...

While applications vary by industry, quality metal fabrication conforms to several basic rules and requires fundamental processes. While there are many bending solutions and strategies, nothing can ...

A new fabrication method guides liquid gallium beneath graphene after lithography, producing durable superconducting devices that maintain performance through standard chip processing. (Nanowerk ...
