New alloy could replace more expensive and heavier copper conductors in aircraft and high-speed rail transport

Scientists from the National University of Science and Technology “MISIS” (NUST MISIS) in cooperation with their colleagues from the Siberian Federal University and the Research and Production Centre of Magnetic Hydrodynamics (Krasnoyarsk) have developed a technology for producing a unique heat-resistant aluminium alloy with improved durability. According to the researchers, this new alloy could replace Read more about New alloy could replace more expensive and heavier copper conductors in aircraft and high-speed rail transport[…]

Machine learning methods to predict superhard materials

A group of Skoltech scientists used machine learning (ML) methods to predict superhard materials based on their crystal structure. The research was published in the Journal of Applied Physics. This work is supported by Russian Science Foundation. Superhard materials have recently attracted increasing research interest due to their potential implications for industries broadly ranging from oil Read more about Machine learning methods to predict superhard materials[…]
