MIT researchers have developed a lightweight, two-dimensional polymer that is stronger than steel, easily producible in large quantities, and could be used for durable coatings or structural materials. (Stock video…
…of this new steel, known as a “third-generation advanced high-strength steel,” is under way at Missouri S&T’s Kent D. Peaslee Steel Manufacturing Research Center. “We are currently refining the steel…
…nanowires are 15 times stronger than high-strength steel and 10 times stronger than conventional GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). We can decrease the amount of material used thereby reducing the weight…
Researchers have created a novel material by coating DNA with a pure form of glass, resulting in a substance that is lighter and stronger than steel. This groundbreaking discovery, utilizing…
…but four times stronger than steel. So, our glass nanolattices would be much better than any other structural materials to create an improved armor for Iron Man.” Reference: “High-strength, lightweight…

…in place and leads to nanoribbons that are stronger than steel. Parts of the molecules attracted to or repulsed from water, shown in purple and blue respectively, orient and guide…
…created a lightweight material that is several times stronger than steel, preserving its 2D properties even in multilayered forms. Potential applications include filtration membranes and upgraded batteries. The research could…
…know: steel. Steel is mostly made of iron, some carbon, and oftentimes other elements. The exact steel alloy a blacksmith chooses to work with depends on what they’re making. Knives…
…and flexible. In fact, pound for pound, spider silk is stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar. However, no one has been able to replicate the spiders’ work yet. If…
…and even soft robotics could benefit from fibers engineered using these natural principles.” Spider dragline silk stands out among natural materials because it is stronger than steel by weight and…
…concrete stronger. Credit: RMIT University A by-product of steel making can be used to both treat wastewater and make stronger concrete. Researchers have shown how a by-product of steel making…
A novel treatment on T-91 steel alloy has resulted in a stronger and more ductile version called G-T91, with ultra-fine metal grains showing super-plasticity. This discovery by Purdue University and…
…reduce vehicle weight while ensuring efficient motor operation. High-performance steel materials can enhance the quietness of rides and withstand the wear from high-speed motor rotations. Optimizing the steel modification process,…
…steel reinforcement and converted into rust, the steel loses strength. And as more and more rust builds up on the surface of those steel bars it pushes against the concrete…
…Buffalo, funded by the Army Research Office (ARO), created a lightweight plastic that is 14 times stronger and eight times lighter (less dense) than steel and ideal for absorbing the…
