SCRAM is the keyword in Northrop Grumman’s quest toward hypersonic superiority. As nations around the world race for hypersonic supremacy, for hypersonic missiles (in what is still a relatively mild arms race) as well as for any future hypersonic vehicle, Northrop Grumman is perfecting SCRAM C/C, Northrop Grumman is looking…

Materials in nature are rarely straight. In fact, helical structures are ubiquitous in nature and impart unique mechanical properties and multi-functionality. In our bodies, proteins assemble into helical filaments which allow our muscles to contract. Plants change shape because cellulose fibers are arranged helically within their cell walls. Researchers from…

Since the year 2000, astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) have used the special conditions of space, such as the presence of permanent microgravity, for experiments that provide revolutionary results. One of the experiments that is expected to be started on the ISS in 2023 is connected to capillary…

As some metal 3D printing service providers struggle to offer consistently price-competitive value-added services, other companies are moving to fill the space. Among these, hardware manufacturers are ideally poised to provide AM services as they don’t have an urgent need to ensure returns on the initial CapEx (buy producing the…

Researchers use AM to embed hidden information
Texas A&M University researchers have developed a method of imprinting a hidden magnetic tag, encoded with authentication information, within manufactured hardware during the part fabrication process – a potential solution to the manufacturing and defense industries’ high-priority concern over counterfeited good and components. The process holds the potential to expose…
