Brown University Scientists Developed a Technique to Build Harder Metals
The introductory chemistry states that diamond is the hardest substance. Then, there was a series of facts that spoke about the difference between metals and non-metals. One of the primary differences used to state is the metals being harder due to their electron configuration. However, among the metals, sodium has proven its softness as it cuts even with a knife. To make sure that these metals can be handier, scientists have tried to go for several metal hardening techniques to make them stronger and more durable. Recently, scientists and researchers from Brown University have devised a new method to harden metals using nanoparticles. It can be a groundbreaking methodology in the domain of metallurgy. Let’s understand how they did, what this method means to humanity, etc. About the Method Scientists from Brown University discovered a method to mold the entire metallic structure, even at the granular level. The shaping of the metal from the micro-level helps to go for the bottom-...
