The future hydrogen economy may hinge on iridium, a metal so rare that only about 8 tonnes are produced worldwide each year.

Scientists have developed a new method that can make customized 3D-printed metal parts containing different properties—such as having some regions of the metal stronger than others. The new technique ...

A research team has developed a method to recycle valuable metals from electronic waste more efficiently while significantly reducing the environmental impact typically associated with metal recycling ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

A new fabrication method guides liquid gallium beneath graphene after lithography, producing durable superconducting devices that maintain performance through standard chip processing. (Nanowerk ...

A groundbreaking new method promises to reshape the way we manufacture nanoscale electronic components. It could offer a faster, cheaper, and more reliable alternative to traditional chip-making ...

Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a new, surprisingly simple method for merging two metals into one nanocrystal structure. The team says that this could allow almost any two metals to be combined ...
