Water is a transparent, odourless, tasteless chemical compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Water is ...

Road-salting season is upon us. With icy roads and walkways looming throughout winter—and late fall or early spring, depending on your relationship with the La Niña vs. El Niño climate patterns—salt ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Performance requirements on alloys are becoming more stringent for end users in industries such as aerospace, medical, power generation, oil and gas, specialty automotive, and trucks. These ...

Modern jet engines operate in gas temperatures exceeding the melting point of their own components, surviving only through extreme materials science, hollow single-crystal blades, internal air cooling ...

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 ...
