All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries. ASSBs consist of solid-fast-ion-conducting electrolytes and electrodes that offer improved energy density, battery safety, specific power, and fast-chargi
All three failure modes develop their own momentum, making these initiatives tricky to manage. Digital lightning bolts require equal parts evangelism and technical accomplishment—half process reform, half product development. C-suite engagement is critical to ensure that the first lightning bolt hits ...
Based on the fundamental concepts, one of the advantages of using stainless steel is its high corrosion resistance, but in combination with other alloying elements can provide good mechanical strength, making the steel an appropriate material to be used in diverse applications that, in many cases,...

nickel, and cobalt (all used in batteries), as well as dysprosium (data storage devices), iridium (anode coatings), neodymium (magnets), praseodymium (aerospace alloys), and terbium (fiber optics) as the minerals most important for energy needs and that are also most at risk of...
POWER ENGINEERING. Mechanization of production in power engineering involves the start up of large electric power plants and the creation of unified power systems. An increase in the capacity of power plants makes possible a significant reduction in the consumption of labor, materials, and fuel for...
Matching two crystals’ lattice vectors is the first stage of making an interface. However, as discussed previously, many other factors need to be considered. Chief among these are sources of stress in the structure. These can originate from the misalignment of the two materials, or from broken...
their molecular structures are often more complex compared to inorganic materials. This complexity arises from the presence of carbon-carbon bonds and various functional groups, making their structures more intricate and diverse. Relying solely on features based on elemental properties may not be sufficie...
For more information on each of the casting processes, visit the Total Materia metals database. The Process of Casting Aluminum Millions of pounds of melting aluminum are cast safely every day, making it one of the most commonly casted metals around. This is likely due to the fact that ...
The current theory for phonon transport in alloys is based on the VCA. In the VCA, one essentially treats the alloyed system, which is compositionally a mixture of two or more pure crystals, as an effective crystal that has phonon properties (i.e., dispersion, velocities, specific heat etc...
