Boron carbide (B4C) is a highly desirable material in the field of engineering ceramics due to its excellent properties, such as high hardness, chemical inertness, neutron absorption capability, and ...

When it comes to turning raw metal alloys into useful things, two processes dominate: casting and forging. Both have their place, but when strength and light weight are priorities, forging is the ...

Graphene is an ultrathin material characterized by its ultrasmall bending modulus, superflimsiness. Now researchers have demonstrated how an experimental technique called optical forging can make ...
