Scientists have used pressure with a twisting shear to permanently deform silicon, an important material for electronics. The resulting changes in silicon's microstructure produce material phases that ...

Virginia Tech advances additive friction stir deposition - creating a strong, defect-free material that can be 3D printed in bulk.

Illustration of the material’s transition, with time represented from left to right. A laser pulse (left) sends the material into disorder (middle). Out of this so-called soup phase emerges a highly ...

With advanced manufacturing tools, the team of materials science and engineering Associate Professor Hang Yu has created a ...

AMES, Iowa – When Valery Levitas left Europe in 1999, he packed up a rotational diamond anvil cell and brought it to the United States. He and the researchers in his group are still using a ...
