Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process called pitting corrosion, which occurs when aluminum (Al) alloys are exposed ...

To material scientists the phrase "ductile intermetallic compounds" has long been considered an oxymoron. Although these compounds possess chemical, physical, electrical, magnetic, and ...

Intermetallic compounds are ordered alloys of two or more metallic elements that adopt discrete crystal structures and exhibit distinctive physical properties. Crystal structure analysis of these ...

Hydrogen has the highest energy density (120 MJ/kg) of all known substances, approximately three times more than diesel or gasoline, meaning it could play a pivotal role in sustainable energy systems.

This diagram shows the different preparation methods of 2D noble metal-based intermetallic electrocatalysts and the different reactions that this electrocatalyst can be used for. As demand grows for ...

Hydrogen, a clean fuel, is incredibly dense in energy -- three times more than diesel or gasoline. Its ability to power a sustainable future has been hindered by a lack of high performing catalysts.
