Materials

It is estimated that over ten thousand tons of hard disk drive magnets may be available for recycle which contain up to 3 wt.% dysprosium.

This invention allows for easy control over magnetic anisotropy in ferromagnetic films. It also allows for selective writing of magnetically different properties across length scales from 10s of nanometers to meters.

The invention is a cement that can be interrogated with light to indicate its stress condition.

Piezoelectric materials tie structure to electrical charge. The application of a bias changes crystal structure and/or a change in crystal structure induces charge.

The invention relates to thermal insulation and more specifically to materials with very low thermal conductivity.

Here we disclose a novel method for enhancement of composite performance by improved adhesion between components.

The present invention comprises a new method for lignin-based fiber processing, and fibers made thereby.

The invention comprises a new formula for corrosion and creep resistant high Cr FeCrAl alloys that contain elements such as niobium, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, and yttrium. The new alloys also exhibit improved grain structure, oxidation resistance, weldability.

The invention comprises a universal and scalable approach for manufacturing 2D single crystals, with a demonstration of its utility using graphene as an example.

This invention describes a new alloy system with promising permanent magnet properties. The materials contain none of the expensive “critical” rare earth elements (Nd, Dy, Sm) found current high performance magnets.
