The low activity of the oxygen reduction reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is a major barrier for electrocatalysis, and hence needs to be optimized. Tuning the surface electronic ...

Back in 2010, Apple signed an agreement with Caltech spinoff Liquidmetal Technologies, giving Apple exclusive access to the firm's unique metal alloys for consumer electronics applications.

A very special injection molding machine that can form liquid metal into plastic-like parts is getting close to prime time. The technology has significant implications for the medical and other ...

The more amorphous a metal becomes, the better its electrochemical properties in a battery. However, the battery industry's poster child, lithium, appears mainly in crystalline form – leading to a ...

This weird metal is insanely bouncy Steve Mould Watch on (via Steve Mould) This amorphous metal has a coefficient or restitution or 0.99 when paired with a ball bearing. It's like watching a glitch in ...

Grinding a crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) material in a ball mill converts it into an amorphous structure and then into other crystal morphologies, according to research presented Tuesday ...

An amorphous metal alloy for producing highly complex parts via an efficient injection-molding process exceeds the strength of its titanium counterparts. The alloy undergoes virtually no shrinkage as ...

Sanjaya Viraj Bandara of the University of Peradeniya captured this image at 300x magnification while attempting to synthesize a porous, crystalline material known as Zn-MOF-74. Bandara says that ...
