The Eiffel Tower grows taller in summer due to thermal expansion. While this effect is common in most metals, it poses ...

Through a multi-university collaboration, researchers have discovered a new, solid lubricating mechanism that can reduce friction in machinery at extremely high temperatures, well beyond the breakdown ...

Solid-state battery electrolytes are the focus of researchers from Brazil, who are combining ceramic and polymer to improve ...

The study uncovers the invar effect, enabling the creation of a pyrochlore magnet with unprecedented thermal expansion ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. This effect is extremely undesirable for many technical applications. Now, scientists have created a new material that hardly changes in length over an ...

Dutch startup Arceon is working with industry leaders to test its Carbeon CMC, targeting UHTCMC and a presence in the U.S. in ...

As fossil energy sources gradually deplete, the global demand for energy transformation is becoming increasingly urgent. Proton Ceramic Electrolyte ...
