Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could change how we design aircraft and car components. Researchers at NIST ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum ...

In 2017, a team at HRL Laboratories, based in California, and UC Santa Barbara discovered a high-strength aluminum alloy that ...

Age-hardened aluminum alloy 7075-T651 was considered for this ... The microstructure of multiple samples exposed for different durations (1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 24, 48, 100, and 200 hours) was analyzed ...

The quasicrystals found in this study form the corners of 20-sided shape called an icosahedron. To prove that he found an icosahedron, Andrew Iams had ...
