A team has pioneered a new technique for synthesizing amorphous nanosheets by employing solid-state surfactants. These ultra-thin amorphous nanosheets can now be produced from various kinds of metal ...

Amorphous metal distribution transformers can minimize no-load losses in wind power applications. The offshore wind farm shown here is the Danish Horns Rev I. As part of its green transformer ...

Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes could be made cheaply and form the basis for alternative approaches to conventional thin-film transistor technologies for uses that include energy harvesting.

Future iPhones, iPods, and other Apple-flavored gadgets may be made out of “amorphous” metal alloys thanks to a deal that Apple has made with Liquidmetal Technologies. Liquidmetal revealed that it has ...

Back in 2010, Apple signed an agreement with Caltech spinoff Liquidmetal Technologies, giving Apple exclusive access to the firm's unique metal alloys for consumer electronics applications.

Apple will soon make test parts on a newly developed amorphous metal injection molding machine located in Korea, says Leander Kahney, the editor and publisher of Cult of Mac, and author of Inside ...

The low activity of the oxygen reduction reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is a major barrier for electrocatalysis, and hence needs to be optimized. Tuning the surface electronic ...

Sanjaya Viraj Bandara of the University of Peradeniya captured this image at 300x magnification while attempting to synthesize a porous, crystalline material known as Zn-MOF-74. Bandara says that ...

The 19th century was the age of steel; the 20th was the age of synthetic polymers and plastics, but the 21st century will be the age of glassy metals. High-grade steel making and the invention of ...
