In 2017, a team at HRL Laboratories, based in California, and UC Santa Barbara discovered a high-strength aluminum alloy that ...

Scientists have discovered a rare and powerful crystal hidden inside a 3D-printed aluminum alloy. This unusual crystal, ...

Researchers have determined that the strength of 3D-printed aluminum-zirconium alloys may be due to quasicrystals in the metal's structure. Quasicrystals were the subject of the 2011 Nobel Prize in ...

Electron microscope image of the aluminum alloy from the study. The light gray areas are sections of traditional crystals within the aluminum alloy, while the black dots are sections where NIST found ...
