Researchers from the University of Toronto Engineering, led by Professor Yu Zou, MSE, are working to produce and advance metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology. Researchers developed the technology by using computer-aided design (CAD) to construct materials layer by layer. Contrary to traditional manufacturing, a combination of selective laser melting (SLM)...

Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory recently developed HOS-PFM, a conductive polymer coating. The new technology may provide battery stability and high charge/discharge rates while improving the efficacy of EV battery life. HOS-PFM showed promising battery adhesive that could extend the life of lithium-ion batteries from 10 years to 15...

In a collaboration by Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, Ames National Laboratory in Iowa State University, and Bruker Corp, a new superalloy was found to potentially lower carbon emissions while maintaining power plants to generate more electricity. The superalloy is stronger and lighter compared to the currently used materials...
