“Magic” alloy will allow solar cells to capture near-infrared light

August 12, 2018 -

This type of photovoltaic technology is known to be far more efficient than conventional, store-bought solar panels. However, concentrator photovoltaics are incapable of harnessing near-infrared light due to how they're made: three different layers capture different parts of light, with the next layer catching what the previous layer couldn't. Infrared light slips past all these layers with ease, and has presented scientists with the unique challenge of coming up with an alloy ...

Pentagon halts production of vaunted F-35 after discovering Chinese alloy is a critical component

September 11, 2022 -

The Defense Department said it is halting further deliveries of the Lightning II to customers including the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy after finding the Chinese-sourced rare-earth alloy in magnets for pumps used on the fighter.

Defense Department spokesman Russell Goemaere told Bloomberg News in an email that the F-35 program office "temporarily paused the acceptance of new F-35 aircraft to ensure the F-35 program's compliance" with DoD rules sourcing "specialty ...

Chemical reaction between pipe alloy and water disinfectants produce cancer-causing chromium in drinking water

December 13, 2020 -

Pipe alloy plus disinfectants a cancerous combination

Chromium is a naturally occurring metal in the soil and groundwater. It is often added to iron to produce a corrosion-resistant metal alloy. Trace amounts of trivalent chromium (chromium-3) appear in drinking water, but this form of chromium is thought to have neutral effects on health.

However, co-author Haizhou Liu of UC Riverside's Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering suspected that ...

Scientists develop revolutionary “unmeltable” superalloy set to transform aviation and energy efficiency

October 28, 2025 -

In a breakthrough that could redefine high-temperature engineering, researchers at Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a revolutionary chromium-molybdenum-silicon alloy capable of withstanding temperatures up to 3,632 F (2,000 C)—far surpassing the limits of conventional nickel-based superalloys.

According to BrightU.AI's Enoch AI engine, a superalloy is a highly specialized type of alloy ...

Better recycling of car scraps could yield big money AND help reduce emissions

October 12, 2018 - A proper and meticulous sorting of scrap car parts could improve recycling rates of alloy elements to more than 97 percent, generating billions in savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a study by Tohoku University researchers and their colleagues showed.

According to the study, optimizing the recycling process could result in a savings of $287 million (31.6 billion yen) on raw materials, and slash greenhouse gas emissions linked with acquiring new material ...

Scientists develop an electrochemical process that removes toxic mercury from contaminated water

December 01, 2020 - alloy of the two metals. There was no risk of the mercury re-entering the water as the alloy is stable.

According to Tunsu, this method has been described before but was used for a different purpose. "This is the first time the technique with electrochemical alloying has been used for decontamination purposes,” added Tunsu.

The alloy has several advantages. For one, it can be recycled and emptied in a controlled way, so that ...

Have researchers found a new way to clean contaminated water through an electrochemical process?

February 18, 2019 - alloy.

"Our new method makes it possible to reduce the mercury content in a liquid by more than 99 percent," claimed lead researcher Bjorn Wickman. "This can bring the water well within the margins for safe human consumption." (Related: More than 10 million Texans are drinking water contaminated with atrazine, a toxic herbicide with gender bender effects.)Using a noble metal to bind plenty of toxic heavy metals

The new water treatment method employed a metal ...

U.S. halts critical exports to China amid escalating trade and supply chain wars

May 30, 2025 -

The Trump administration has unleashed sweeping sanctions on China, halting exports of critical aerospace and semiconductor technologies while revoking visas for Chinese students in strategic fields — a direct retaliation against Beijing’s rare earth mineral restrictions. This escalation comes after Pentagon officials discovered a Chinese alloy in U.S. fighter jets, underscoring supply chain vulnerabilities. With both nations under a precarious 90-day ...

Baffling new substance discovered deep inside Earth’s core

March 02, 2022 -

Scientists, for more than half a century, assumed that Earth's deepest recesses consist of a molten outer core surrounding a densely compressed ball of solid iron alloy. But new research, published last Feb. 9 in the journal Nature, provides an unusual understanding of the planet's inner structure.

New computer simulations show that Earth's hot and highly pressurized inner core could stay in a "superionic state" — a swirling blend of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon molecules, ...

Titanium tires used in spacecraft now being redeveloped for Earth bicycles

February 10, 2022 -

The SMART Tire Company has adapted the federal space agency's "smart memory alloy" (SMA) tire technology for bicycles. The result is a revolutionary product called Martensite Elasticized Tubular Loading (METL) tires, which boast of a rubber-like tread for extra traction. According to the firm, METL bicycle tires that use the technology will never go flat or need air.

"Cyclists will not be able to wait to get their hands on these very cool-looking, space-age ...

Antimony-carbon anode could pave the way for developing next-gen batteries

May 04, 2019 - alloys, metal oxides, and other materials were tested to see if they could overcome these problems. But none of them attained the high capacity and cycle stability for storing potassium ions. (Related: Researchers develop high-energy magnesium batteries that can store more energy.)A novel composite material made from antimony and carbon

Eventually, researchers realized the need to consider the design of the electrode materials and the properties of the electrolytes ...

Can we find a cleaner way to extract hydrogen from water?

July 16, 2019 - alloy as one of the few non-precious, metal-based catalysts capable of splitting water into hydrogen gas and oxygen, a process known as hydrogen evolution. The discovery was groundbreaking for two reasons: Both are (1) inexpensive, and (2) abundant compared to other metals used for the job, like silver or platinum.

Copper, in particular, is known for being a great conductor of both heat and electricity. However, it's not as great when it comes to producing hydrogen ...
