Metallic glass, a class of materials that offers both pliability and strength, is poised for a friendly takeover of the chemical landscape.
Yale University engineers have found a unique method for designing metallic glass nanostructures across a wide range of chemicals. The process will enable the fabrication of an array of new materials, with applications for everything from fuel cells to biological implants.
The nano electronics market is strengthening on the back of a raft of new technologies and products such as mobile wireless devices, the internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing.
Optical computing has been held back by a lack of tiny light emitters to transmit data between a computer’s components, but new material options could overcome this barrier.
Researchers build “teeny, tiny structures” that can change infrared to visible light.
