The researchers employ a facet-oriented Zn metal, with a physicochemically polished surface, minimizing surface energy and surface defects, leading to uniform, horizontal magnesium growth. This ...

Electroplating is a technique that uses an electrical current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a surface. It is widely used across industries to enhance material properties, such as durability, ...

Now that his new metal-plating system is all polished up and promises to revolutionize many industrial processes, Physicist Donald M. Mattox of Albuquerque’s Sandia Corp. is faced with a persistent ...

A newly published Taiwanese patent describes a powderless metal additive manufacturing concept using a TFT backplane to electrochemically print metal.

A new study tracked lithium metal deposition and removal from a battery anode while it was cycling to find clues as to how failure occurs. The research could help improve the use of pure lithium metal ...
