Earlier in this series, we made the case for copper being “the metal that built technology.” Some readers took issue with that statement, noting correctly that meteoric iron and gold were worked long ...

A new process for producing titanium—a metal that’s increasingly used in aircraft to reduce weight and fuel consumption—is significantly cheaper and less energy-intensive than conventional methods.

Titanium is often used where low weight and high strength are required and money is no object—because it’s extremely costly to produce. Now, a new manufacturing technique could reduce the expense, ...

Apparently, folks in the material science world are totally over the fact that we're able to 3D print titanium alloys willy-nilly. Because they have exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion ...

As strong as steel and half the weight titanium is a metal which has never achieved its potential because it is at least 10-times the price. But that might be about to change with the dawning of the ...

You won't find this material in the ocean, as you've got to make it yourself.
