CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — MIT chemical engineers have created a new material stronger than steel, as light as plastic and seals tight enough that even gas can't get through. The material could be used for ...

A recent study in Nature Communications explored nanoporous amorphous carbon nanopillars, produced using an innovative method that combines self-assembled polymeric carbon precursors with nanoimprint ...

The proportion of lightweight core materials is increasing, especially in sectors such as aerospace, transport vehicles and wind power. Processing them requires special cutting technologies to achieve ...

Honeycomb core materials, such as aramid, aluminium, and fibreglass, are used in areas such as interiors, winglets, spoilers and many other parts in commercial and military aircraft, helicopters and ...
