New titanium manufacturing process saves energy, helps protect troops
Whether for stopping cars or bullets, titanium is the material of choice, but it has always been too expensive for all but the most specialized applications. view more (2008-05-21)
Airbus A380 Mega-liner: Weight Savings by Titanium
The titanium parts implemented in the new Airbus A380 aircraft will constitute about 9 % by weight. The new mega-liner basic version is able to transport 555 passengers over a distance of 14.800 kilometres at a speed of Mach 0.85. Length and wingspan do not exceed 80m. Airbus aircraft has been using titanium alloys from the very beginning. Due to... view more... (2003-06-23)
Safety of combat military vehicles examined
A Queen's University Belfast academic is working on research that could help protect the lives of military based in Afghanistan. view more (2009-07-30)
Researchers generate hydrogen without the carbon footprint
A greener, less expensive method to produce hydrogen for fuel may eventually be possible with the help of water, solar energy and nanotube diodes that use the entire spectrum of the sun's energy, according to Penn State researchers. view more (2008-07-16)
Caltech scientists create titanium-based structural metallic-glass composites
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created a range of structural metallic-glass composites, based in titanium, that are lighter and less expensive than any the group had previously created, while still maintaining their toughness and ductility--the ability to be deformed without breaking. view more (2008-12-22)
Cleaning up pollutants with sunlight
A cheap, harmless chemical and sunlight could provide an environmentally friendly way of destroying micro-pollutants in the environment. UK researchers are developing a new type of reactor to destroy persistent contaminants such as pesticides and pharmaceutical residues. The technology, which breaks down the polluting molecules into carbon... view more... (2002-10-23)
Slippery customer: A greener antiwear additive for engine oils
Titanium, a protean element with applications from pigments to aerospace alloys, could get a new role as an environmentally friendly additive for automotive oil, thanks to work by materials scientists from Afton Chemical Corporation (Richmond, Va.) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2008-07-24)
Novel approach estimates nanoparticles in environment
Without knowing how much of an industrial chemical is being produced, it is almost impossible for scientists to determine if it poses any threat to the environment or human health. view more (2009-05-21)
Ethylene suggested for hydrogen storage
Ethylene, a ho-hum material that is the building block of the most common plastic, might have an exciting future in storing hydrogen, the hoped-for transportation fuel of the future. view more (2006-12-11)
Nanostructure boosts efficiency in energy transport
Overcoming a critical conductivity challenge to clean energy technologies, Boston College researchers have developed a titanium nanostructure that provides an expanded surface area and demonstrates significantly greater efficiency in the transport of electrons. view more (2009-03-03)
Crowning glory
Research present in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers suggests that coating dental implants with a synthetic bone material prior to implantation allows such implant to become incorporated much more successfully into the jaw, leading to smiles all round. view more (2008-04-07)
Toward a nanomedicine for brain cancer
In an advance toward better treatments for the most serious form of brain cancer, scientists in Illinois are reporting development of the first nanoparticles that seek out and destroy brain cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy cells. view more (2009-09-10)
Geologists reveal secrets behind supervolcano eruption
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have discovered what likely triggered the eruption of a "supervolcano" that coated much of the western half of the United States with ash fallout 760,000 years ago. view more (2007-03-06)
Bone-Growing Nanomaterial Could Improve Orthopaedic Implants
For orthopaedic implants to be successful, bone must meld to the metal that these artificial hips, knees and shoulders are made of. A team of Brown University engineers, led by Thomas Webster, has discovered a new material that could significantly increase this success rate. view more (2007-09-18)
Titanium dioxide — It slices, it dices ...
Chemists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Arizona State University have proposed an elegantly simple technique for cleaving proteins into convenient pieces for analysis. view more (2007-04-02)
New titanium high-strength engine components
Gamma titanium aluminides belong to the most predestined high-temperature lightweight materials offering an alternative to conventional heat-resistant steels and superalloys applied in high-performance automotive and aircraft engines. Investigations of the German Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH (MPIE) aim at improving titanium... view more... (2003-06-25)
