Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...

A recent study by industry partner Thermo Fisher Scientific and Professor Shirley Meng’s Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion, published in Joule, found that modifying the texture of metal can ...

The preferred orientation of crystallites constituting polycrystalline solid materials such as metals, ceramics or composites significantly influences the intrinsic properties of the respective solid.

Copper surfaces kill microbes that come into contact with them in a matter of hours. A new technique makes the familiar metal even deadlier—by zapping it with lasers. Bacteria “are becoming more ...

The crystallographic texture of thin-film coatings plays an essential role in determining such diverse materials properties as wear resistance, recording density in magnetic media and electrical ...
