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

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 ...

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 ...

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