A newly developed crystal, referred to as a quasicrystal, has been discovered to strength metals that are used for 3D ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered something surprising that could ...

In 2017, a team at HRL Laboratories, based in California, and UC Santa Barbara discovered a high-strength aluminum alloy that could be 3D printed. They found that adding zirconium to the aluminum ...

Scientists have discovered a rare and powerful crystal hidden inside a 3D-printed aluminum alloy. This unusual crystal, called a quasicrystal, helps make the metal much stronger—and it was found by ...

NIST researchers have found that non-repeating quasicrystals create defects in 3D printed aluminum that strengthen the metal.

To find out how long 3D-printed metal parts are likely to last in the field, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is providing up to $10.3M to a University of Michigan-led team.

D-printed hydrogel is soft, and sometimes it can be tough. However, could it be hard? Here, researchers from Zhejiang ...

A traditional crystal is any solid made of atoms or molecules ... Andrew Iams found his own quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum. There are a few different ways to 3D-print metals, but the most ...

The quasicrystals found in this study form the corners of 20-sided shape called an icosahedron. To prove that he found an icosahedron, Andrew Iams had ...
