New materials enable engineers to create tougher, stronger, lighter, higher-performing components.
These new materials enable designers to create products that are stronger, lighter, more energy efficient, and more durable than anything that exists today.
Usage of this equation and identification of only one new material parameter enables the comparison and assessment of the die swell of different materials, independently of the corresponding geometry of the capillary die used.
The combination of digital design and new building materials enables architects to create shapes that were never possible before.
Down the road, the new material could enable the development of large-scale batteries and even form the basis of "artificial trees" that lower atmospheric concentrations of CO2 in an effort to stave off catastrophic climate change.
This year [we'll] get hands on across: code as a new material, gaming enabling indie filmmakers, and data visualization.
The development of new magnetic materials enabled more effective loading of transmission lines, thereby improving transmission speeds.
"Shifting towards new materials that enable recycling or composting is one of several strategies to redesign packaging applications," says Opsomer.
But, like the VHTR, the GFR will require new materials to enable its cladding and fuel assemblies to withstand such high temperatures.The third fast-reactor concept uses molten lead as the coolant, an approach historically favoured by the Soviet military, which used early lead-bismuth cooled fast reactors to power its submarines.
