Most metals expand when their temperature rises. This effect is extremely undesirable for many technical applications. Now, scientists have created a new material that hardly changes in length over an ...

The study uncovers the invar effect, enabling the creation of a pyrochlore magnet with unprecedented thermal expansion ...

A research collaboration has created a pyrochlore magnet alloy with near-zero thermal expansion, outperforming Invar. This ...

However, this expansion can be a real problem for many technologies like precision instruments or spacecraft. That’s why ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. The Eiffel Tower, for example, is around 10 to 15 centimetres taller in summer than in winter due to ...

"Modern society demands materials that exhibit minimal dimensional changes with temperature fluctuations, unlike most materials that expand and contract significantly," explained Professor Martin ...

New theory offers insights into the origin of the very low and negative thermal expansion observed in cordierite ...

(Courtesy: M Dove and L Li/Matter) The anomalous and ultra-low thermal expansion of cordierite results from the interplay between lattice vibrations and the elastic properties of the material. That is ...
