Shining intense infrared laser pulses on titanium generates higher-frequency light, revealing how its optical properties change in different directions due to variations in electron movement and ...

Scientific research on nanoparticles has discovered the most unexpected behavior of elements by altering their atomic and molecular states. These unexpected properties have found a variety of ...

The automotive applications of titanium and its alloys follow logically from high strength, low density and, low modulus, and they have excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Titanium is ...

Titanium is the leading material for artificial knee and hip joints because it's strong, wear-resistant and nontoxic, but an unexpected discovery by Rice University physicists shows that the gold ...

Titanium Diboride (TiB 2) is a hard material with high strength and high wear resistance at elevated temperatures. The high density, combined with the high elastic modulus and high compressive ...

Producing high-performance titanium alloy parts -- whether for spacecraft, submarines or medical devices -- has long been a slow, resource-intensive process. Even with advanced metal 3D-printing ...
