The new material, created by spraying a tantalum coating on stainless steel, can withstand extreme conditions inside fusion reactors. This advancement enables more efficient fusion reactors that are ...

Workers at the Hanford Site in Washington state are using cold spray metal coating on aging double-shell waste tanks to ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

Nissan Motor Company has revealed that it has adopted cold spray technology in the production of valve seats, claiming to be the first company to use the process in automotive engines. The Japanese ...

The Center for Industrial Photonics (CIP) at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) has developed an additive manufacturing technique—laser-assisted cold spray (LACS). Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new technology that promises to make commercial nuclear fusion reactors one step closer to reality. Nuclear fusion is a process that ...

Most coatings have a functional purpose as well as a decorative one. Paint protects a car's body against the elements while adding razzle-dazzle to its appearance. Some coatings, though, are mainly ...

An international team of researchers has solved a puzzling phenomenon whereby strangely beautiful, vortex-like structures appear between materials deposited onto engineering components used in ...

“My student, Michael Lucas, developed a 3D coating with antimicrobial potential. That is where I came in,” Sandy van Vuuren, PhD, a researcher in the department of pharmacy and pharmacology at the ...
