Metals may seem tough, but given enough time even plain old air can be their undoing. Oxygen reacts with it to form metal oxides like rust, but now it turns out a metal oxide may come to the rescue.

MIT researchers published a paper this week where they explain that thin layers of solid oxide protective coating for metals can deform as if they were liquid, filling any cracks and gaps as they form ...

With the unique properties of nanomaterials, such as having a high surface-to-volume ratio and a diverse morphology and structure, they have become a desirable material for different applications.

Corrugated cardboard is a classic example of a stiff yet lightweight macroscale material. Now, a team at the University of Pennsylvania led by mechanical engineer Igor Bargatin has developed a ...

ABSTRACT The pretreatment of aluminum sheet material in preparation for further paint application can be challenging due to the presence of a thick oxide layer. The composition of the oxide layer is ...
