Aluminum and magnesium are among the “many” metals that melt at lower temperatures under extremely high pressure. The results came from a quantum computer simulation, but model real materials ...

Refractory metals are a class of metallic materials that offer superior heat resistance and very high melting points. While the exact definition of which elements are included in this group varies, ...

Scientists have long known that impurities and flaws in a metal’s crystal structure can lower the material’s melting point. In an unexpected twist, an international research team has dramatically ...

Researchers have discovered a new phenomenon of so-called metastability in a liquid phase. This state is common in supercooled liquids, which are liquids that cool below the freezing point without ...

(Nanowerk News) Three-dimensional metal printing technology is an expanding field that has enormous potential applications in areas ranging from supporting structures, functional electronics to ...

Refractory metals are characterized by their extremely high melting points, which range well above those of iron, cobalt, and nickel. They are used in demanding applications requiring high-temperature ...
